The Toronto Blue Jays will have a new face in the dugout for Tuesday’s game against the Colorado Rockies.

Toronto selected infielder Buddy Kennedy to its major league roster on Tuesday, the team announced.

In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays announced that catcher Ali Sanchez has been designated for assignment.

The Blue Jays signed the 26-year-old Kennedy to a minor-league contract after he was released from the Philadelphia Phillies’ 40-man roster in early July.

In 16 games with triple-A Buffalo since joining the Blue Jays organization, Kennedy has slashed .207/.309/.259.

With the return of Alejandro Kirk and Tyler Heineman avoiding a concussion after taking a foul tip on Saturday, the Blue Jays decided to designate Sanchez, their third-string catcher, for assignment.

Sanchez, 28, appeared in eight games for the Blue Jays this season and had a .238/.238/.333 slash line.

The Blue Jays will look to build on a 25-hit performance against the Rockies on Monday in the second game of the three-game set Tuesday night. Watch the game live on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ starting at 8:40 p.m. ET / 5:40 p.m. PT.
