Pete Walker and Kevin Barker have refused their minor league assignments, making them free agents. Pitcher Josh Towers and outfielder John-Ford Griffin were outrighted to Syracuse, therefore also removing both of them from the 40-man roster.

The Blue Jays added right hander Tracy Thorpe to their 40 man roster, bring the number back up to 38. The 26-year-old pitched for the Double A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, where he posted a 3-1 record, 18 saves, with a 2.91 ERA.
