Toronto purchased the contract of right-hander Armando Benitez from Triple-A Syracuse. Benitez made eight appearances in the minors between Dunedin and Syracuse, posting a 3.38 ERA in eight innings of work. (Updated 05/10/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The Blue Jays needed an extra arm in the bullpen after they had to disable Jeremy Accardo on Saturday. Benitez may not assume his setup role in the eighth inning, though, and is only worth taking a flier on in extremely deep AL-only formats that reward the use of middle relievers. He may be a cheap source for holds and strikeouts. (Updated 05/10/2008).
