Blue Jays appoint LHP Brandon Eisert as 27th man for doubleheader vs. Orioles

Brandon Eisert is back with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The team announced that the 26-year-old southpaw has been appointed as the 27th man for Monday’s doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.

Eisert pitched in one game for the Blue Jays in June, logging two scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox.

With the triple-A Buffalo Bisons this season, Eisert has a 4.75 ERA, 51 strikeouts and 19 walks over 36.0 innings.

MLB teams are allowed to recall an extra player any time they are playing a doubleheader. Usually, pitchers demoted to the minors must spend 15 days there before their clubs can bring them back to the major-league team, but that rule does not apply when a 27th man is returned to the minors.
