The Toronto Blue Jays will likely be without Jose Reyes until the All-Star break because of a severely sprained ankle.
The shortstop was injured during an awkward slide into second base during Friday night's 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals.
"It is frustrating. I love baseball so much," Reyes said. "I love to be with my teammates on the field and helping my ballclub. Now I know I'm not going to be there for a little while. It's kind of disappointing for me. I've been through some injuries in my career. I don't like that. Injuries are part of the game and I have to deal with it."
Reyes, acquired from Miami during the offseason after one season with the Marlins, is hitting .395 and led the major leagues with five stolen bases.
