Padres' Mason McCoy: Loses everyday role
Rotowire
McCoy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
On the bench for the fifth game in a row, McCoy appears to have lost hold of his everyday gig at shortstop in the absence of Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder). Even though Kim remains on the injured list, the Padres have opted to shift Xander Bogaerts from second base to shortstop to open up regular playing time in the infield for Donovan Solano.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Cut from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Padres reassigned McCoy to minor-league camp Monday.
McCoy reached the big leagues for the first time in 2023 as a member of the Blue Jays, appearing in six games but logging just one plate appearances. He was moved off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster in September and caught on with the Padres on a minor-league deal in November, but the Friars likely don't envision the 28-year-old serving as anything more than organizational infield depth this season. McCoy is expected to report to Triple-A El Paso to begin the season.

Rotowire
The Blue Jays selected McCoy's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old was acquired by Toronto from Seattle in exchange for Trent Thornton in late July and will now have the chance to make his major-league debut. McCoy has a .572 OPS in 21 games since joining Buffalo but fared better with the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate with a .737 OPS. He'll provide some defensive versatility after Bo Bichette (quadriceps) landed on the injured list but may not see much playing time.

The Blue Jays acquired McCoy from the Mariners on Wednesday in exchange for Trent Thornton, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
McCoy, 28, is in his third full year at the Triple-A level in 2023, having put up a .737 OPS with 11 homers and 20 stolen bases at Tacoma. He's capable of playing every position but pitcher and catcher and will provide the Blue Jays with some utility depth at Triple-A Buffalo.
