MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Toronto Blue Jays announced Wednesday that right-handed pitcher Parker Caracci has been promoted from the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
Caracci, 25, made 45 relief appearances with the Fisher Cats over the past two seasons. In 39 outings this year, he went 2-4 with a 4.31 ERA and struck out 56 batters in 48 innings. Caracci had 11 consecutive scoreless appearances from June 18 to July 22, spanning 16 innings, the longest scoreless streak by a New Hampshire pitcher this season.
The Jackson, Miss., native was selected by the Blue Jays in the 21st round of the 2019 MLB Draft out of the University of Mississippi.
