Montero, Leone activated by Blue Jays; Ohlman, Howell designated for assignment
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Miguel Montero from the disabled list and took right-handed relief pitcher Dominic Leone off the bereavement list on Wednesday.
Montero had been out since Aug. 4 with right knee inflammation.
His return provides Toronto with a veteran catcher to split duties with 26-year-old Raffy Lopez while regular starter Russell Martin (oblique) remains on the disabled list.
Catcher Mike Ohlman and left-handed reliever JP Howell were designated for assignment to make room on the roster for both Montero and Leone.
