Blue Jays receive good news on Devon Travis injury

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis was the recipient of a 96 mph fastball to the left hand from New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino that forced him to leave the game this afternoon.

Devon Travis remained in the game but was visibly favouring his left hand when he attempted to slide back into third base later in the inning. Travis was eventually replaced by Ryan Goins as Devo went to have the hand examined by the Jays medical staff.

Travis has been snakebitten during his tenure with the Blue Jays with an assortment of ailments and initially, this did not look like the prognosis would be a positive one.

However, the Jays are reporting that the X-rays have come back negative and Travis is considered day to day.

It appears the Blue Jays may have dodged a bullet as they are finally close to being completely healthy. The only two regulars who remain shelved are pitcher Aaron Sanchez and Steve Pearce with reports that Sanchez is going to start throwing this week as he recovers from blister issues on his throwing hand.
