Capra opened the season in AAA, then got a callup to the majors in late April.  He was only with Toronto briefly, then went back to AAA.  Capra missed all of June and July, not counting rehab, with an injury, then returned to AAA for the rest of the year.  He had a solid season there, with good plate discipline.  In the field he played mainly third, short and left.  The Jays removed him from the roster in the off-season and he opted for free agency, but he signed a minor league deal with the Jays a day later.

2023
AAA (Tor):  167/357/222, 54 AB, 3 2B, 3 3B, 1 HR, 14 BB, 13 K, 1-2 SB

Toronto sent Capra back to AAA to start the season.  He didn’t do much there and, at the end of April, the Jays sent him to the Pirates in exchange for Tyler Heineman.

The Pirates had a lot of upper level injuries in the early stages of 2023, so Capra will initially provide reinforcements for Indianapolis.
