Blue Jays Promote Prospect Charles McAdoo to Major League Roster

It provides corner-infield depth with power upside during a stretch of roster shuffling.

Overview

  • The Blue Jays officially selected Charles McAdoo's contract Thursday and placed infielder Lenyn Sosa on the 10-day injured list to open a roster spot.
  • McAdoo earned the call after hitting .250/.356/.436 with a .792 OPS, eight home runs and 27 RBIs in 49 Triple-A games for Buffalo this season.
  • Scouting reports describe McAdoo as a right-handed hitter with above-average power and improved plate discipline but lingering contact and defensive consistency issues.
  • McAdoo can play first, second and third base, which gives Toronto positional flexibility, but his first major-league appearance is pending and he did not start the first game after the promotion.
  • The move comes as the club manages multiple roster changes, including moves to the 60-day injured list for other players and a recent trade for reliever Connor Seabold, which together shape how the Blue Jays will use McAdoo in the near term.
