Blue Jays claim catcher Brian Serven off waivers from Chicago Cubs

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed catcher Brian Serven off waivers from the Chicago Cubs, the Major League Baseball team announced Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Serven appeared in 11 games with the Colorado Rockies last season and 38 games with their Triple-A squad in Albuquerque, N.M.

The six-foot, 207-pound right-handed hitter was claimed off waivers by the Cubs earlier this month. 

Serven, from Palm Desert, Calif., was selected by Colorado in the fifth round of the 2016 first-year player draft and made his Major League debut with the club in 2022.
