BALTIMORE — Catcher Danny Jansen was reinstated from the Blue Jays’ 10-day injured list on Tuesday and he was available to play in Toronto’s game versus the Orioles in Baltimore.

Jansen’s return to the roster following a left groin strain was just one in a series of moves the Blue Jays made before starting a three-game series in Baltimore to kick off a nine-game road trip.

Infielder Brandon Belt was put on the 10-day IL retroactive to Sunday with left hamstring inflammation.

Right-handed reliever Adam Cimber was placed on the paternity list.

Infielder Ernie Clement and right-handed pitcher Bowden Francis were recalled from the Blue Jays’ triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y., in corresponding moves.

Veteran catcher Tyler Heineman was also optioned to triple-A Buffalo.
