While not nearly as serious as it perhaps could’ve been, this is certainly not the news that Blue Jays fans were hoping to hear. Aledmys Diaz, who injured his ankle this weekend in Tampa Bay, has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with what has been described as a left ankle sprain. Shortstop Richard Urena has been called up to take his place.
Diaz, 27, was struggling quite a bit at the plate. Despite hitting six home runs, he slashed a pedestrian .216/.273/.431 in 32 games. He has hit four doubles and has struck out 16 times.
