Blue Jays outright 1B Lind to minors

The Toronto Blue Jays outrighted the contract of first baseman Adam Lind to Las Vegas on Thursday, two weeks after demoting him to the Triple-A club.

Lind, 28, was batting just .186 with three homers and 11 runs batted in over 34 games for the Blue Jays before being sent down May 17.

Left-handed pitcher Aaron Laffey was also optioned to Las Vegas on Thursday.

Taking Lind off the 40-man roster made room for the Blue Jays to promote right-hander Robert Coello from Triple-A, according to MLB.com.
