Cabrera Heads To 60-day DL

MINNESOTA -- The Toronto Blue Jays' bad luck with the injury bug continues as they have announced that they have placed left fielder Melky Cabrera on the 60-day DL. Cabrera underwent an MRI at a local hospital in Minnesota and it revealed a torn hamstring that is expected to keep him sidelined for the next 1-2 months.

Cabrera was injured running down the first base line on his RBI groundout in the top of the sixth inning yesterday evening. After hit stepped on the bag, Cabrera immediately clutched his leg before eventually slowing down and falling to the ground in pain. He was carted off the field and was taken to the hospital immediately in an ambulance. "It's a tough break for Melk [Cabrera]. He's been one of the most consistent hitter for our team so far, so it's a lose-lose situation for us." said Blue Jays skipper John Gibbons.

The Blue Jays have announced that they have called up speedy outfielder Anthony Gose from Triple-A Buffalo in time and that he will be in Minnesota in time for the start of this afternoon's game against the Minnesota Twins. In a related roster move, the Blue Jays have moved John Tolisano from Double-A New Hampshire to Triple-A Buffalo to take Gose's spot on the roster. Gose is expected to start in left field in this afternoon's game.
