Fri Aug 28 201523:43Dorn claimed off waivers by Blue Jays on Friday
Dorn was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays on Friday, Fanragsports.com's Jack Magruder reports.
He was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks earlier this week. Dorn hit .167 with zero home runs and zero steals in 23 games with the Diamondbacks, and the 31-year-old journeyman will now head to the fourth organization of his career.

Dorn was designated for assignment by the Braves on Monday.
Dorn continues to slide further down the organizational totem pole, as he'll no longer be a member of the 40-man roster. A move was required to open up a spot on the 40-man for Jhoulys Chacin, and Dorn is apparently the odd man out.
Tue Jul 21 201518:02Dorn optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday
Dorn was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of AZCentral Sports reports.
Dominic Leone was recalled Tuesday, so Dorn will head to Triple-A to clear a spot on the 25-man roster. Dorn has appeared in only three games this month and is 5-for-30 with three RBI on the season.

Dorn was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Dorn has seen sporadic playing time with the Diamondbacks this season, collecting five hits in 29 at-bats. He'll provide short-term outfield depth, but will likely be one of the first names on the chopping block when an extra roster spot is needed.
Sat Jul 4 201518:36Dorn optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday
Dorn was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Dorn has cobbled together two multi-week stays in the majors this season. However, he's totaled 29 at-bats in 22 appearances, which intimates his pinch-hitting role. Overall, he's supplied a .172/.226/.207 line with three RBIs, so the 30-year-old journeyman may have a difficult time earning another opportunity with the Diamondbacks.
Wed Jun 17 201510:36Dorn 2-4 in return to majors Monday against Angels
Dorn went 2-for-4 in his return to the majors Monday against the Angels.
He has continued to pound Triple-A pitching this year to the tune of a .426/.470/.628 line. Despite finding some success in his brief exposure to major league pitching (.385/.467/.462 in 15 plate appearances), the 30-year-old Dorn is not a significant fantasy asset.

Dorn is hitting second and playing first base Tuesday against the Angels, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Dorn was recalled from Triple-A Reno earlier Tuesday to take the spot of Ender Inciarte (hamstring), who hit the 15-day DL. Dorn has torn up Triple-A pitching in 39 games this season, and he'll look to translate that success to the big league level.
Tue Jun 16 201514:02Dorn recalled from Triple-A Reno
Dorn has been recalled from Triple-A Reno, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Dorn will return to the big league club to take the roster spot of Ender Inciarte (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day DL on Tuesday. Dorn has appeared in 12 games for Arizona this season, going 3-for-9 at the plate in mostly pinch-hit duty. He's hitting a healthy .426/.460/.628 in 39 games at Triple-A.

The Diamondbacks optioned Dorn to Triple-A Reno following Saturday's game against the Padres.
They did this despite Dorn hitting a pinch-hit double off of Craig Kimbrel in the ninth inning to tie Saturday night's game. He was used in a pinch-hit capacity the entire time with the Diamondbacks.
Tue Apr 21 201517:19Dorn called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday
Dorn was called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
The Diamondbacks had a roster spot open up with Jake Lamb (foot) landing on the DL, and it will be Dorn who takes his place for now. Dorn does own a .272/.348/.476 career batting line at the Triple-A level (2,558 PA), but he will likely be used sparingly off the bench as he can only really play first base and the corner outfield.
Tue Mar 4 201408:52Danny Dorn diagnosed with fractured wrist
Danny Dorn has been diagnosed with a fracture in his right wrist and will miss at least six weeks.
Dorn was signed to a minor league contract in November after posting a promising .258/.335/.460 batting line with 25 home runs and 82 RBI in 2013 for the Tigers' Triple-A team. The 29-year-old is no longer in the running for an Opening Day roster spot.

Sat Nov 16 201314:31D'Backs sign Danny Dorn to minors contract
Diamondbacks signed 1B/OF Danny Dorn to a minor league contract.
The 29-year-old had a bit of a resurgence at Triple-A Toledo in 2013, slashing .258/.335/.460 with 25 homers, 82 RBI and eight stolen bases. He did fan 131 times in 496 at-bats, but has legitimate pop and could compete for a bench spot with the Diamondbacks.
