MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Toronto Blue Jays added four members of the 2022 New Hampshire Fisher Cats to the 40-man roster Tuesday. Orelvis Martinez, Yosver Zulueta, Spencer Horwitz, and Addison Barger all had their contracts selected ahead of the deadline to protect eligible players from the Rule 5 Draft.

Martinez is the No. 2 prospect and top-rated infielder in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline. The 20-year-old Dominican spent the entire season with New Hampshire, setting a new Fisher Cats record with 30 home runs. Martinez is ranked the No. 70 prospect in all of baseball.

Zulueta pitched in nine games for the Fisher Cats in the second half of the season and appeared in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game at Dodger Stadium. The 24-year-old Cuban started 2022 with Single-A Dunedin and finished the year with Triple-A Buffalo. He is the No. 5 overall prospect and the No. 3 pitching prospect in Toronto’s farm system.

Horwitz played four games with New Hampshire in 2021 and returned to the club for 70 games in 2022. He was named the Eastern League Player of the Week on June 13 after going 9-for-20 with two home runs in a road series at Binghamton. Horwitz slashed .297/.413/.517 with 10 home runs, 39 RBIs, and 30 extra-base hits before earning a promotion to Buffalo in early July. The Timonium, Md., native is the No. 12 prospect in the organization.

Barger is the No. 13 prospect and posted a .313 batting average in 47 second-half games with the Fisher Cats. He hit nine home runs, drove in 29 runs, and had a .912 OPS. The Bellevue, Wash., native earned a September promotion to Buffalo and slashed .355/.444/.677 with three home runs in eight games. Barger finished the season with a .308 average, .933 OPS, 26 home runs, and 91 RBIs across three levels.

The Fisher Cats are scheduled to play 69 home games at Delta Dental Stadium in 2023, beginning Tuesday, April 11, with a six-game series against the Portland Sea Dogs (Boston Red Sox affiliate). Full and half season ticket memberships, as well as mini-plans, are available at NHFisherCats.com, via email at [email protected], by phone at (603) 641-2005, and in-person at the Fisher Cats box office on 1 Line Drive in Manchester.
