Victor Zambrano agreed Tuesday to a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays that includes a club option for 2008.
The right-hander went 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in five starts last year with the New York Mets and became a free agent in December when the Mets declined to offer him a 2007 contract.
After striking out Andruw Jones in a game against the Atlanta Braves on May 6th, the 31-year-old Zambrano was pulled and was diagnosed with a torn flexor muscle. He had surgery May 15th to repair his elbow tendon, remove bone spurs and replace a ligament.
Zambrano hopes to be ready by the start of spring training, having thrown this winter, but his health remains a shaky subject.
