The injury bug won't let up on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Andres Gimenez exited Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays in the fourth inning with right hamstring tightness, the Blue Jays announced.
Gimenez hit a grounder and, after he was called out at first base, winced and grabbed at his hamstring.
Manager John Schneider shuffled the infield to accommodate the change, with Ernie Clement moving to shortstop, Kazuma Okamoto to third base, Charles McAdoo to second base and Brandon Valenzuela playing at first.
Following the game, which the Blue Jays won 5-1, Schneider told reporters that Gimenez "felt better, actually, on exam, good strength and good mobility, so we'll see (how) he wakes up (Friday), hopefully dodging another bullet. He's not going to get an MRI right now. See how he wakes up (Friday) and go from there."
In 388 at-bats this season, Gimenez has eight home runs, 49 RBIs while slashing .240/.284/.640. He went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases before exiting.
This is yet another in an injury-plagued season for the Blue Jays, who are without Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Trey Yesavage, among others.
