TORONTO — Right-handed reliever Jordan Hicks was acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

Right-handed pitching prospects Adam Kloffenstein and Sem Robberse were sent to St. Louis in return.

Righty reliever Mitch White was designated for assignment to make space on Toronto’s 40-man roster.

The deal was the Blue Jays’ second with the Cardinals in a little over a week as Toronto picked up lefty reliever Genesis Cabrera from St. Louis on July 21.

Hicks (1-6) has a 3.67 earned-run average this season with eight saves and 59 strikeouts over 41 2/3 innings pitched.
