All three were active for the Blue Jays’ game that night in Cleveland against the Guardians.

Mantiply was reinstated from Toronto’s 60-day injured list having recovered from left knee inflammation.

Smith came off the 10-day IL after missing time with left hamstring inflammation.

Tiedemann and Keys were recalled from the Blue Jays’ triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y.

In corresponding moves, outfielder Daz Cameron was designated for assignment and right-handed pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson cleared waivers but elected free agency.
