Barnes has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo, Sportsnet's Mike WIlner reports.

Barnes has been with four organizations since the end of last season, after posting a 3.69 ERA and 1.20 WHIP at the Triple-A level in 2014. He's a lefty reliever with good strikeout numbers, but he's already 27 years old, and his control remains shaky.

Barnes was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Barnes was originally claimed by the Rangers off waivers on Dec. 8, but was designated for assignment just eight days later. The lefty reliever has struggled in the Cleveland farm system over the past two seasons, but will look to get back on track with his fourth different organization in less than two months.

The Rangers designated Barnes for assignment Tuesday.

Barnes has already been part of three organizations in the past month -- he was DFA's by Cleveland, traded to Baltimore then claimed off waivers by the Rangers -- and he'll soon be looking to join a fourth. The 27-year-old turned in a 3.69 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 25 appearances at Triple-A last season, lowering his career numbers at that level to 4.33 ERA and 1.31 WHIP.

The lefty reliever spent 2014 at Triple-A with the Orioles, posting a 3.69 ERA in 31.2 innings. His 35:16 K:BB ratio over that span suggests he might have the stuff to make it in a low-leverage role out of the Rangers' bullpen, but this is not a potential eighth or ninth inning arm.
