The Blue Jays already boast former Cubs Miguel Montero and Darwin Barney on their roster and now they are adding another recent Cubs castoff.

Toronto called up left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson Tuesday afternoon.

Anderson signed with the Cubs over the winter and with both sides hoping to cash in on his past upside, he began the season in the starting rotation. Of course, that didn't go over well as he made just six starts to the tune of an 8.18 ERA and 2.091 WHIP, allowing 20 runs on 34 hits and 12 walks in 22 innings.

He got only five outs in his last two starts in early May, getting tagged for 12 runs on 13 hits and a walk in that span before going on the disabled list with a back injury.

It wasn't all bad for Anderson, as he was 2-0 with a 3.54 ERA through his first four starts. Even with his struggles over the last couple years (he also had an 11.91 ERA in 11.1 innings in 2015), the 29-year-old southpaw has a career 3.99 ERA and went 10-9 with a 3.69 ERA in 31 starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2015.

The Cubs released Anderson on July 31 and the Blue Jays scooped him up a couple weeks later. After performing well in a pair of minor-league games for the Blue Jays, Toronto's front office wants to see what he can do for the big-league club in the season's final few weeks.

Anderson will get another chance to work with Montero, who caught two of the lefty's Cubs starts.
