Aaron Sanchez and Ryan Goins will be called up by the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, reports Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Goins' stay with the team could be a brief one as he's expected to replace Steve Tolleson, who will be taking paternity leave. 

Sanchez, a pitcher, was ranked the Blue Jays' No. 1 prospect by MLB.com entering 2013, and will be making his MLB debut upon his first in-game action. Primarily a starter in the minor leagues, he was recently moved to the bullpen at Triple-A with the hope that it could soon allow him to join Toronto's pen. 

Sanchez has thrown 100 combined innings on the year between Double-A and Triple-A. The 22-year-old has a 3.95 ERA and 1.445 WHIP to go along with a 3-7 record in 20 starts.
