TORONTO - The Blue Jays are bringing reliever Jason Frasor back to Toronto.

The Jays reacquired the right-handed pitcher Sunday from the Chicago White Sox for minor league pitchers Myles Jaye and Daniel Webb.

Frasor, a right-hander, was 3-3 with a 3.60 ERA in 64 relief appearances with Chicago and Toronto last season. Chicago acquired him and pitcher Zach Stewart from the Blue Jays for pitcher Edwin Jackson and infielder/outfielder Mark Teahen in July.

Frasor, a Chicago native, spent eight seasons -- 2004-2011 -- with the Blue Jays, posting a 24-28 record in 455 games with 36 saves and a 3.69 ERA.

The 20-year-old Jaye made his professional debut with Advanced Rookie Bluefield of the Appalachian League last season, going 3-3 with a 3.00 ERA in nine starts and four relief appearances.

The 22-year-old Webb spent most of last season with Class A Lansing, where he was 4-5 with a 5.59 ERA. He also made one relief appearance with Bluefield.
