The left-hander is about a year and a half removed from Tommy John surgery.

#Bluejays just announced that Nick Sandlin has cleared waivers and elected free agency.
Sandlin was acquired in the Andres Gimenez deal, got hurt early in the season and never made it back. Honestly, it didn't seem like #Jays were too terribly excited about his potential return.
