TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have signed right-hander Dillon Tate to a one-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.

The deal is worth US$1.4 million.

In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays transferred right-hander Angel Bastardo to the 60-day injured list.

Tate made four appearances with Toronto in 2024 after being claimed off waivers in September.

Between the Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles, the 30-year-old appeared in 54 games across Major League Baseball and Triple-A, posting a 3.70 earned-run average in 58.1 innings.

Toronto next plays Baltimore on Thursday in Dunedin, Fla., in spring training action.
