Blue Jays Claim Veteran RHP Paul Sewald After Diamondbacks DFA

The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed veteran right‑hander Paul Sewald, adding depth to their pitching staff. Sewald was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks, making him available on waivers.

The move reflects Toronto's ongoing effort to reinforce its bullpen ahead of the upcoming season. Sewald, a seasoned major‑league pitcher, brings experience and versatility to the club.

The Diamondbacks cleared a roster spot by placing him on the DFA list. Blue Jays officials said the acquisition aligns with their strategy of mixing youth and veteran presence.

Sewald will report to the Blue Jays' minor‑league affiliate to begin his new stint with the organization.
