TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed right-hander Anthony Bass off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

Fellow right-hander Ryan Dull has been designated for assignment to make room for Bass on the 40-man roster.

Bass, 31, was 2-4 with a 3.56 ERA and 43 strikesouts in 44 innings last season with Seattle.

The six-foot-two, 200-pound Bass was second on the team with 44 relief appearances after signing a major-league contract on May 21.
