The Toronto Blue Jays officially recalled catcher Gabriel Moreno from the minors on Saturday and optioned catcher Zack Collins to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Moreno, the team's top prospect and the No. 4 overall prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, will make his major league debut on Saturday against Detroit Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske. The 22-year-old should at least split time behind the dish with Alejandro Kirk with Danny Jansen (hand) on the injured list, and he deserves to be picked up in fantasy leagues where he's available. Moreno was hitting a cool .324/.380/.404 with a homer, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases in 36 games for Buffalo before his call-up. His above-average power stroke at the catcher position makes him attractive right away.

Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Gabriel Moreno is being called up from the minors and will join the team in Detroit and be activated at some point during their weekend series against the Tigers, according to a source. It comes after Danny Jansen (hand) was put on the injured list on Tuesday with a small fracture of his hamate bone. Alejandro Kirk has hit very well for the Jays, but Toronto felt like it was time to call up the No. 4 prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. Moreno, 22, was hitting .323/.377/.406 with a homer, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases in 35 games for Triple-A Buffalo this year. He makes consistent, hard contact and should display above-average power at the next level, immediately making him worth adding off the waiver wire in mixed leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays catching prospect Gabriel Moreno belted a two-run double for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, going 1-for-4 in the contest with a walk. Moreno, the seventh-ranked prospect by MLB Pipeline and top-ranked Blue Jays prospect, is off to a hot start in 2022. He carries a .429/.467/.500 slash line with six hits over 14 at-bats and five RBI. Though he has not yet homered in 2022, the season is young. Moreno has 24 career minor league HR over 738 AB with a .310 lifetime batting average. Moreno has plus power and batting average capabilities and could make his debut in Toronto later this season. Redraft managers will want to keep an eye on Moreno if he gets the call to join what is already one of the most prolific lineups in all of baseball.

The Toronto Blue Jays sent catching prospect Gabriel Moreno to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday. Moreno is the team's top prospect and is also ranked as the No. 7 overall prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline. Toronto will begin the 2022 season with Danny Jansen and Alejandro Kirk working behind the dish, giving the 22-year-old Moreno more time to develop on the farm. In three minor league levels last year, he hit an impressive .367/.434/.626 with eight home runs, 45 RBI and 30 runs score in 159 plate appearances over 37 games. Moreno has a quick and powerful swing and makes plenty of contact, as he struck out in just 14.8% of his plate appearances last year. Once in an everyday role in Toronto, he should be an above-average offensive catcher for fantasy managers.
