Delone Catholic graduate Casey Lawrence is getting his first shot at the major leagues, according to sportsnet.

The right-handed pitcher was recalled by the Toronto Blue Jays from Triple-A Buffalo Saturday to help provide a fresh arm to its overtaxed pitching staff. The Blue Jays are playing in Tampa this weekend.

Lawrence, who was invited to spring training for the first time this year, has bounced around the minor leagues since he joined Toronto’s organization in 2010. He was scheduled to be Buffalo’s opening-day starter Saturday before the call-up.

Lawrence graduated from Delone Catholic in 2006 and played for four years at Albright College.
