Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista is day-to-day after leaving Thursday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles with right thigh tightness.
Bautista was replaced by outfielder Ezequiel Carrera in the bottom of the sixth inning after reaching base on a walk. Prior to the at-bat, Bautista told manager John Gibbons “he didn’t think he could run much,” the Blue Jays skipper revealed after the game. He will be reevaluated on Friday.
The 35-year-old was 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI single to go with a pair of walks before exiting the game.
Bautista has appeared in all but one game for the Blue Jays this season and boasts a slash line of .234/.369/.477 to go with 12 home runs, 40 RBI and an AL-leading 47 walks.
