2013 Toronto Blue Jays Thread

Jays are saying it's a sprain.

Yeahh...looked worse than that.

Yeahh...looked worse than that.

Sprains can be pretty serious. If they're bad enough, they can take longer to heal than broken bones.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Not sure how he knows, but the Assistant Manager for the Dominican WBC team is reporting a grade 2 sprain with a 2 month recovery time.

Also this from a Mets reporter:

@jorgeccastillo

Valdespin said he spoke to Jose Reyes last night. Said Reyes was sad and told him he tore ligaments and expects to be out 3 months.

 

[Derk]

TSN has him being put on the 15-day DL with a sprained ankle.

The other articles I've seen via Yahoo suggest 1-3 months. We will wait and see.

This really sucks. Injuries to key players were one of the issues that were thought might derail this season.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

At least it didn't happen in Toronto where we'd hear endless comment about the turf.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

AA himself said that the best case scenario was probably one month, and worst was three.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So basically the entire rotation injured last season.  Jays best hitter injured early in this season.  Toronto.

We can't have nice things.

AA says he expects Reyes to be out about 3 months or at least until the all-star break. #Bluejays

Bautista approached Gibbons in-game, Anthopoulos after game about playing 3rd temporarily.

Maybe Lawrie transition to short?

At least the new staff ace J. A. Happ is holding his own.

 

[Kin]

Well, that was the knock on Reyes going into the season. It's obviously a tough blow but it shouldn't be a fatal one.

This really sucks. But all accounts he was even more than just the best player on the field. Bad luck.

Reyes to Miss 3 Months

 

[Rebel_1812]

boom

 

[maplesyrup]

I had thought short but apparently Lawrie is going to get a look at 2B... Why not?

 

[Arn]

Shame about Reyes. In what has been a slow enough start to the season I liked him. He seemed very positive and up and was fun to watch.

 

[dappleganger]

Lawrie came up through the minors at second base. He switched to 3B in 2011.

I don't believe he ever played short.

 

[Derk]

Another day, another loss. Oliver hasn't really pitched well this year, and he took the loss giving up a run in the bottom of the 9th.

I just took a look at some stats - Arencibia tied for 3rd in the league with 18 strikeouts in 44 at bats, Rasmus tied for 5th with 17 in 37.

Bautista has grounded into 3 double plays so far this year, tied for 3rd.
