OAKLAND -- Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will be out for 2-6 weeks after he was diagnosed with a high left ankle sprain and a Grade 1 left knee sprain on Tuesday.
Gurriel sustained the injuries while he made an awkward slide into second base during Sunday's game against the White Sox. He was initially diagnosed with contusions on his left knee and left ankle, but his status was downgraded after the results from Monday's MRI were revealed.
The injuries come at an unfortunate time for Gurriel, who was one of the hottest hitters in the Majors when he went down in Chicago.
