Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. left Monday’s game against the Houston Astros in the first inning with left hamstring tightness.

Gurriel appeared to suffer the injury running to first base after grounding into a double play.

Yangervis Solarte took Gurriel’s spot in the batting order, shifting Aledmys Diaz from third base to shortstop.
