In an ideal scenario for the Blue Jays and Lourdes Gurriel Jr., the talented 25 year old will spend a few weeks in Buffalo regaining his confidence and then will be able to re-join the big league team. When it comes to dealing with the “yips”, making a game plan is a fool’s errand, and the Jays will just have to see how he responds and hope the setback is temporary.
Right now it sounds like they want to ease him back into playing even in Buffalo and will likely give him a few games as the designated hitter so he doesn’t have to worry about fielding right away.
