Blue Jays: Brandon Drury broke hand as a member of the Yankees

The Toronto Blue Jays placed Brandon Drury on the disabled list with a fractured hand earlier today, an injury that occurred two days before Drury was traded to Toronto.

According to reports, Brandon Drury had discomfort in his left hand after being hit with a pitch two days prior to being dealt to the Blue Jays. The injury was diagnosed as a bruised bone and the Jays brain trust was made aware however the ailment did not affect the transaction from moving forward.

Through eight games with his new team, Drury was still experiencing issues with the hand at which time a CT scan revealed the fracture. The 25-year old will now be sidelined for approximately 4-6 weeks while the hand heals. In a corresponding move, the Jays recalled infielder Richard Urena from Triple-A Buffalo.

There is no word if the Jays will be seeking additional compensation from the Yankees however it does sound like all parties had communicated the injury beforehand and everything was on the up and up.

Brandon Drury said 2 days before the trade, he felt discomfort in the left hand. It was diagnosed in NY as a bone bruise. He said Jays knew about it. Hand still didn’t feel right so Drury underwent CT scan Sunday and found out it was broken.

More detail on Drury injury: Did MRI to look at the diagnosed bone bruise vs a potential fracture. When the medical staff saw the fracture, they did CT scan to further evaluate type and extent of fracture, & give the hand surgeons a better look to see if any surgery was needed.
