Bautista day to day after twisting right ankle

Post #1 » by **LittleOzzy** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 1:13 am

Third baseman Jose Bautista left Thursday night's game after the fourth inning after twisting his right ankle, and he is listed as day to day.

Bautista sustained the injury while sliding into third base as Edwin Encarnacion hit into an inning-ending double play. Bautista appeared to get the cleats on his right foot caught in the dirt as he slid into the bag, and he rolled his ankle.

The 30-year-old lay flat on the ground for several minutes after the slide, in considerable discomfort, though he walked off the field under his own power.

Glad he's okay, he needs to stop diving from now on and ever.

Just when all our starters were healthy, we lose our best player.

Still has to have a MRI in the morning, so I'm not prepared to say the season is back on yet. Could be serious.

According to his twitter post: http://twitter.com/#!/JoeyBats19/status ... 1077181442
"Just a sprain guys! Hope to wake up tomorrow and feel better!"

I hope he's right.

#BlueJays Bautista didn't undergo an MRI today. He could play as early as Sunday or Tuesday.

I noticed on television last night before the game, Bautista was talking with trainer George Poulis(sp?).

Wasn't it Bautistas right ankle that slid into the wall at the All star game? Maybe he tweaked it on that play as well as the play at first and 3rd last night? It's possible.
