TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to terms with pitchers Shawn Camp, Casey Janssen and Jesse Litsch on one-year contracts.

The 35-year-old Camp was 4-3 with a 2.99 earned run average and a pair of saves over 70 relief outings last season. He will be paid $2.25 million for the 2011 season.

The right-hander has compiled a career mark of 19-23 with a 4.44 ERA.

The 29-year-old Janssen made 56 relief appearances for the Jays last season, going 5-2 with a 3.67 ERA. He will earn $1.095 million for the upcoming campaign.

Another righty, Janssen is 15-19 with seven saves and a 4.12 ERA in 166 games, 22 as a starter, over four seasons in Toronto.

Litsch went 1-5 with a 5.79 ERA in nine starts last year before his season came to an end after surgery to repair a labral tear in his hip.

The right-hander is 21-24 with a 4.10 ERA in 59 starts and one relief outing over the last four seasons with the Jays. He will be paid $830,000 next year.
