In a surprise move, the Blue Jays place starting RF Alex Rios on waivers; the two-time All-Star is claimed by the Chicago White Sox. Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi explains that the move is meant to give the team additional financial flexibility as Rios, who is hitting .264 with 14 homers and 62 RBI, is due more than $60 million until 2015. In the game that follows, Toronto ends the Yankees’ eight-game winning streak with a 5 – 4 win, thanks to 5 2/3 innings of scoreless work from its bullpen.
