Toronto Blue Jays slugger Rowdy Tellez has entered concussion protocol after taking an elbow to the face in Monday’s win over the Baltimore Orioles.
The incident occurred in the seventh inning, when Tellez took contact from Renato Nunez while reaching into the base-path to make a defensive play. Tellez temporarily remained in the game before being lifted for a pinch-hitter.
Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said the 25-year-old is considered day-to-day.
Tellez is slashing .231/.293/.462 with three home runs on the season. He has split his time between first base and designated hitter.
