Blue Jays provide worrying injury update on Anthony Santander after game 3
In the Toronto Blue Jays dominating win last night, Anthony Santander was pulled half way through the game due to injury problems once again.
Santander was recently removed from the game 2 lineup a few hours before the game due to lower back tightness but ended up back in the lineup for game 3.

The Blue Jays ended up pulling Santander from the game after a hard run to drive him in from an Ernie Clement single as he was replaced by Myles Straw.

After the game, manager John Schneider explained that Santander is doing everything he can to fight through the pain and that in a perfect world he would have finished the game but he still isn't 100%.

Santander did not have the best night at the plate with 1 strikeout and 1 walk but he still managed to help the Blue Jays get a run before being pulled.
This is a bit worrisome as Santander could not finish game 3 due to pain and it looks like there is a chance that he is unable to play in game 4 with how Schneider spoke after the game.
