Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Two doubles Thursday
Serven went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.
The backstop scored what proved to be the game-winning run in the third inning as he guided Bowden Francis and the bullpen to a 2-0 victory. Serven is emerging as Francis' personal catcher, working with him in each of the right-hander's last three starts, and it's hard to argue with the results -- Francis has a 0.41 ERA, 0.36 WHIP and 24:3 K:BB over 22 innings in those outings. Serven's been adding a little offense as well, batting .280 (7-for-25) in August with three doubles, three RBI and three runs over 10 games.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Drives in two in Friday's start
Serven went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 8-5 win over the Yankees.
Batting ninth and getting another start behind the plate while Alejandro Kirk nurses a bruised elbow, Serven came through with a two-run single in the third inning. The hits and RBI were the 29-year-old's first since he was added back to the big-league roster July 28 following the Danny Jansen trade, but with Kirk not expected to miss much more time, Serven will likely return to the bench before the weekend is over.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Set to make Blue Jays debut
Serven will start at catcher and hit in the No. 8 spot in Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.
After being DFA'd by the Rockies and Cubs over the offseason, Serven joined the Blue Jays in January. He managed to make the Opening Day roster with Danny Jansen (wrist) starting the season on the 10-day injured list. After Alejandro Kirk started the first two games, Serven will start at catcher Saturday and face Rays right-hander Zack Littell.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Added to roster
The Blue Jays selected Serven's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Serven will be the Jays' backup catcher while Danny Jansen (wrist) is sidelined to begin the season. He's a career .195/.248/.314 hitter in the majors and should see occasional action behind starter Alejandro Kirk.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Makes Opening Day roster
Serven will be on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Serven registered five hits in 23 at-bats this spring -- three of which were home runs -- and drove in 12 RBI. However, his performance likely didn't factor into the decision to keep him on the roster as much as Danny Jansen's (wrist) imminent trip to the injured list. Serven will open the year as the backup to Alejandro Kirk.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Launches third spring homer
Serven went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
One day after Danny Jansen suffered a broken bone in his wrist, Serven got the start at catcher and took Bailey Ober deep in the first inning for his third long ball of the spring. The former Rockie appears to be in line to back up Alejandro Kirk at catcher to begin the season, batting .313 (5-for-16) in camp with all five hits going for extra bases, but it's highly unlikely that kind of offensive performance will carry forward should he get significant playing time. In 228 big-league plate appearances, more than half of which came at Coors Field, Serven has a meager .195/.248/.314 slash line.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Sent outright to Triple-A
Serven was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Blue Jays' Brian Serven: Claimed by Blue Jays
The Blue Jays claimed Serven off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Serven has gone from the Rockies to the Cubs and now to the Blue Jays via waivers this month. The 28-year-old has slashed just .195/.248/.314 over 228 plate appearances at the major-league level, even as his home games have been played at Coors Field. Serven does have options remaining and, if he's still with the Blue Jays come Opening Day, he seems likely to be assigned to their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo.

Cubs' Brian Serven: DFA'd by Cubs
The Cubs designated Serven for assignment Thursday.
Serven will lose his spot on the Cubs' 40-man roster following the acquisition of Michael Busch and Yency Almonte from the Dodgers on Thursday. Serven managed just a .572 OPS through 162 plate appearances in Triple-A last season, making it possible he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Cubs' Brian Serven: Claimed by Cubbies
The Cubs claimed Serven off waivers from the Rockies on Friday.
The Rockies dumped Serven from their 40-man roster in order to make room for Jacob Stallings, who signed with the club Friday. Serven managed to slash just .199/.241/.331 across 162 plate appearances with Colorado's Triple-A affiliate, and he'll almost certainly return to the minors to begin his tenure with the Cubs.

Serven hit just .130 with a .304 OPS over 23 plate appearances before being optioned to Triple-A in early May. While he's back up with the Rockies, Serven will provide depth behind the plate, though he could see more playing time if Elias Diaz (head) requires a stint on the injured list.

Rockies' Brian Serven: Draws rare start
Serven went 1-for-2 Wednesday against the Cardinals.
Serven was expected to be in a fairly even split for playing time behind the plate with Elias Diaz this season, but he made just his third start Wednesday. He led off the sixth inning with a single but was replaced by a pinch hitter one frame later. Serven has three hits in seven at-bats for the campaign but is clearly viewed as just the backup catcher in Colorado.
