Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Lands on Injured List After Arizona Diamondbacks Series

Diamondbacks and Blue Jays Series Ends with an Injury

Lourdes Gurriel Injured During Arizona Series

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. Gurriel suffered the injury during the team's series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Gurriel is hitting .283 with 11 home runs and 45 RBIs in 85 games this season. He is a key part of the Blue Jays' lineup, and his absence will be a blow to the team.

The Blue Jays are currently in third place in the American League East, 5.5 games behind the New York Yankees. They will need to find a way to replace Gurriel's production in order to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

The Blue Jays will begin a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. It is unclear if Gurriel will be able to return to the lineup for that series.

The Blue Jays have recalled outfielder Raimel Tapia from Triple-A Buffalo to take Gurriel's place on the roster.

Other Blue Jays Injured

Gurriel is not the only Blue Jays player who is currently on the injured list. Catcher Danny Jansen is also on the injured list with a broken finger. Pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu is also on the injured list with a forearm injury.

The Blue Jays have been able to overcome their injuries so far this season, but they will need to stay healthy if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
