Earlier this month, the Toronto Blue Jays traded Adam Macko to the Texas Rangers.
Macko had been in the middle of his rookie season at the MLB level.
He has gone 2-0 with a 4.91 ERA in 22 games (one start).
The Blue Jays wrote (via X) on August 3: “OFFICIAL: We’ve acquired INF Josh Smith and RHP Josh Stephan from the Rangers in exchange for LHP Adam Macko.”
