The Toronto Blue Jays just recalled Canadian pitcher Scott Richmond from triple-A Syracuse. Richmond, 28, of North Vancouver, B.C., has made five starts for the Syracuse Chiefs, posting a 0-2 record with a 2.53 ERA. He has limited opponents to a .210 batting average, while walking only six and striking out 31 in 35 innings.
