Blue Jays release OF Stewart: The Blue Jays released outfielder Shannon Stewart on Monday, bringing his second stint with the team to a disappointing finish. Signed as a free agent during spring training, Stewart hit .240 with one homer and 14 RBI in 52 games this season. The 34-year-old Stewart sprained his right ankle when he stumbled over first base while running out a grounder June 7 against Baltimore. He was placed on the 15-day DL the following day and has not played since. He played in eight games on a rehab assignment with Class A Dunedin before his release, collecting six hits in 22 at-bats. A first-round pick by Toronto in 1992, Stewart played for the Blue Jays from 1995 until 2003, when he was traded to Minnesota for outfielder Bobby Kielty. He remained with the Twins until the end of the 2006 season, when he signed with Oakland.
