After being designated for assignment by the Royals Sunday, right-handed pitcher Sam Gaviglio was traded to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

The 27-year-old made 16 appearances (13 starts) last season with the Mariners and Royals, owning a 4.36 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.

Gaviglio, who recorded a 37-42 record and 4.03 ERA over seven minor-league seasons, will provide the Jays with pitching depth.

Toronto designated left-hander Matt Dermody for assignment with the corresponding roster move.
