NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto shortstop Troy Tulowitzki cracked his left shoulder blade in the opener of the Blue Jays' doubleheader opener against the New York Yankees during a second-inning collision with center fielder Kevin Pillar.
Toronto said Tulowitzki will be monitored for the next week for the Blue Jays to determine a timetable for his return. The Blue Jays said he will speak about the injury Sunday
Tulowitzki backpedaled into short center to catch Didi Gregorius' popup with two outs. After Tulowitzki caught the ball, he was hit from behind by Pillar.
Tulowitzki at first held the ball and transferred it to his right hand as he collided with Pillar, then seemed to be stunned and fell to the field as the ball rolled out of his hand.
