PHILADELPHIA -- The Toronto Blue Jays recalled right-hander Jeremy Accardo from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.
The Blue Jays placed ace Roy Halladay and closer Scott Downs on the 15-day disabled list before their series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. Halladay has a right groin strain, and Downs injured his big left toe on Tuesday night.
Accardo was 2-1 with nine saves and a 3.38 ERA for Las Vegas. He had 30 saves for the Blue Jays in 2007, and is 7-16 with a 3.99 ERA and 37 saves in 173 career appearances with San Francisco and Toronto.
