NEW YORK — Right-handed pitcher Spencer Arrighetti has been reinstated by the Blue Jays from Toronto’s 15-day injured list.

He had been out since July 25 with a kind of right foot nerve irritation known as Morton’s neuroma.

Arrighetti was acquired ahead of Major League Baseball’s trade deadline in a deal with the Houston Astros for centre-fielder Daulton Varsho.

Utility player Davis Schneider was also recalled Friday from the Blue Jays triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y.
