Former Blue Jays slugging fan favorite suffers brutal ACL tear

It was a worst case scenario for former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The former fan favourite of the Blue Jays and current member of the Arizona Diamondbacks was carted off the field during the top of the sixth after an awkward play in which he jumped out of the way of a diving Blaze Alexander.

Blaze Alexander makes an incredible inning-ending catch but Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is injured trying to get out of the way

It is awful timing for Gurriel who had just put together one of the best offensive months in Diamondbacks franchise history.
