Blue Jays call up Figueroa, Tallet

The Toronto Blue Jays have purchased the contract of infielder Luis Figueroa and have re-called lefthanded pitcher Brian Tallet from Syracuse of the International League.

Figueroa, 32, has appeared in 27 games this season for Syracuse, hitting .245, with 8 RBI.  Last season for Pawtucket of the International League, he posted a .289 average, with seven home runs, and 48 RBI, over 402 at-bats. Figueroa has appeared in eight games at the Major League level, four with Pittsburgh and four with the New York Mets, both in the 2001 season, going 0-2.  He was signed by the Blue Jays on November 21, 2005 as a minor league free agent.

Tallet is being welcomed back for the third time this season with the Blue Jays.  At the Major League level, he has posted a 1-0 record, with an ERA of 9.00 in six relief appearances, and seven innings pitched.  At Syracuse, the 6-7 left-hander, is 1-2 with a 5.85 ERA.  The 28-year-old native of Midwest, Oklahoma was acquired from the Cleveland organization on January 17, 2006 in exchange for RHP Bubbie Buzachero.
