Marc Rzepczynski has signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League.
Rzepczynski last appeared in the majors back in 2018. The 36-year-old lefty hasn't pitched professionally since making 45 relief appearances at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks system back in 2019. He holds a solid 3.89 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 409/205 K/BB ratio across 434 2/3 innings (506 appearances) over a 10-year career at the major-league level.
Rzepczynski has signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Monday as a non-roster invitee, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The 34-year-old last reached the majors in 2018, when he pitched 10.1 innings for the Mariners and Indians, but he'll get to work with the major-league coaching staff this spring. Rzepczynski posted a 5.04 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 44.2 innings with Triple-A Reno last season.
Rzepczynski was released by the Diamondbacks.
He had a 3.86 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB in 25.2 innings as a reliever for Triple-A Reno this season. The 33-year-old southpaw may pursue another opportunity, but he lacks any fantasy value at this point.
Rzepczynski was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday.
The veteran lefty recorded a 2.08 ERA in 8.2 spring innings, but that came with a poor 5:6 K:BB. He's not on the 40-man roster, so he won't necessarily be first in line to get called up when the Diamondbacks need another reliever.
