And much like it’s been a difficult start to the season for the Blue Jays, the same thing goes for Travis, who, considering everything he’s been through this off-season, it was a miracle he was even able to be in the line-up on opening day.
During the off-season, when most other players would have been fine tuning their game, by fielding ground balls or hitting in the cage, Travis’ focus was on rehabilitating his surgically repaired knee, forget swinging a bat or fielding grounders, poor Devon Travis probably spent most of his winter in the gym or pool, trying to strengthen that knee of his.
