Report: Teoscar Hernandez likely out long-term with undisclosed injury
The Toronto Blue Jays likely will have to find a replacement for Teoscar Hernandez in the outfield.
According to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun, Hernandez is going to miss an extended period of time with an undisclosed injury. He's scheduled to have an MRI on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury.
Hernandez injured himself while swinging during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, per Longley.
Losing the 27-year-old will be a huge blow to the Blue Jays' lineup going forward. Hernandez is averaging .308 at the plate with 27 RBI and 14 home runs on 45 hits. He's in the midst of a career year, and it's going to be difficult to replace him.
Toronto does have some options for his replacement, though. Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Randal Grichuk likely will be taking care of business in the outfield.
