The Toronto Blue Jays are building up their pitching arsenal for spring training.
Right-handed pitchers Tanner Andrews and Nate Garkow have been given spring invites, the team announced Saturday.
The moves for the two righties come after the Blue Jays signed lefty pitcher Josh Fleming to a minor-league deal with a spring invite.
Andrews, 30, is a career minor-league reliever, having spent the last seven seasons moving between six different minor-league levels.
In 2025, he pitched with the Wichita Wind Surge, the Minnesota Twins’ double-A affiliate, where he earned a 3.78 ERA and 1.440 WHIP in 16.2 innings over 14 appearances out of the bullpen.
Garkow, 28, has been with the Blue Jays organization for the last two seasons, joining as a free agent ahead of the 2024 season.
In 39 appearances split between double-A New Hampshire and high-A Vancouver, the Arcadia, Calif., native pitched to a 3.19 ERA with a 1.118 WHIP over 53.2 innings.
Fleming, 29, spent all of 2025 as a reliever in triple-A with the Seattle Mariners. He posted a 4.91 ERA over 84.1 innings while striking out 44.
Originally drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 draft by the Rays, Fleming broke into the big leagues in 2020 with Tampa Bay.
He last pitched in the majors in 2024 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, carrying a 4.02 ERA over 31.1 innings.
