Kennedy’s two‐game stint with Toronto produced one hit, and his designation for assignment ends a brief Jays experiment. Previously with Philadelphia this season, his DFA clears a spot for Giménez’s return and leaves room for further in‐season shakeups if injuries or opportunities arise.

Kennedy’s call-up adds a dash of optimism for depth moves, with a potential role in reserve duties that could influence daily lineup decisions and help TOR manage regular playing time.
