Daz Cameron cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A by the Blue Jays.

Toronto designated him for assignment Tuesday as part of a roster crunch created by September activations.

Since he's been outrighted before, Cameron can technically reject the assignment and choose free agency instead.

More likely, he sticks with Buffalo and waits for another shot with the big-league club.

Joe Mantiply's return from the 60-day IL required a 40-man move, and Toronto also activated infielders Sean Keys and Josh Smith to round out its position player group.

Cameron lost his spot in that same wave of roster activity.

He signed with Toronto on a minor-league deal in early July and had his contract selected in mid-August once Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went down with a concussion.

Why contact remains the swing skill for Cameron

In his brief big-league stint, Cameron went 5-for-24 across eight games, striking out seven times without drawing a single walk.

He played mostly left field, with just one inning at center during that stretch.

His season started overseas, hitting .287 with nine homers and nine steals for the Doosan Bears in the KBO.

Notably, he struck out just 16.9% of the time in 75 games there, a much cleaner contact rate than what showed up in his brief MLB look.

Back at Triple-A Buffalo before his promotion, he posted a 19.4% strikeout rate across 23 games, closer to that Korean form.

Making contact has always been the swing skill that decides Cameron's ceiling, and his numbers bounce depending on the level and league.

For now, he heads back to Buffalo, waiting for either another injury opening or a strong enough stretch to force his way back onto the active roster.
