Righty Jay Jackson was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Hatch (0-1) has a 19.29 earned-run average over 4 2/3 innings pitched for the Blue Jays this season with four strikeouts.

Jackson (0-0) had a 3.00 ERA over three innings pitched with Toronto this season.

He gave up a home run to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in the Blue Jays’ 7-4 loss to New York on Monday.

Jackson and Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after the game they were both suspicious of Judge’s eighth-inning at bat as he kept looking into the visitors’ dugout at Rogers Centre, rather than looking at the mound.
