The Toronto Blue Jays have shored up their injury-riddled starting rotation by acquiring right-hander Edwin Jackson from the Oakland Athletics for cash considerations.
The team announced the trade Saturday afternoon, a day after placing veteran right-hander Clay Buchholz on the 10-day injured list with shoulder inflammation.
Jackson made 17 starts for the Athletics last season, going 6-3 with a 3.33 earned-run average. He had been pitching in triple-A before the trade. Toronto had been relying primarily on a four-man rotation since Shoemaker's injury on April 20. The Blue Jays used reliever Daniel Hudson as an opener Friday against the Chicago White Sox in place of Buchholz.
