Overview

  • MRI results showed only inflammation in his left hamstring with no major tear, according to manager John Schneider.
  • On Friday in Miami he ran sprints and took on-field batting practice, and Schneider said his swings looked normal.
  • He was not in the starting lineup for the series opener against the Marlins, with a post-BP decision on potential pinch-hitting.
  • Schneider said the injury is not IL-worthy and that a return could come within days, with his status evaluated daily.
  • The Blue Jays have maintained a five-game AL East lead in his absence, with Ty France filling first base.
