OTTAWA — Outfielder Dasan Brown has been added to Canada’s World Baseball Classic roster.

Brown, from Oakville, Ont., replaces first baseman and catcher Andy Yerzy, who withdrew from competition at the international tournament.

Brown was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 3rd round of the 2019 Major League Baseball amateur draft.

He has spent three seasons in the Blue Jays organization and was named a MiLB organizational all-star in 2022 after hitting .283 with six home runs and 24 stolen bases across three minor league levels.
