Andres Gimenez is out of the Blue Jays' lineup again, and this hamstring isn't clearing up fast.
This marks the second straight game he's missed since first exiting during a game against the Rays.
Manager John Schneider had sounded relatively upbeat after the initial exam, noting good strength and good mobility at the time.
He'd said the plan was to skip an MRI and simply see how Gimenez felt the next morning.
Two missed games later, that cautious optimism is starting to feel less certain.
Fans have taken notice of the pattern. A hamstring issue that was supposed to resolve quickly is stretching into a real absence.
There's no official update yet on whether an MRI has since been ordered or what the actual diagnosis is.
Why the silence is fueling more worry than the injury itself
Toronto hasn't provided much beyond the original assessment, and that silence tends to breed speculation.
Gimenez had been swinging a hot bat before this, and losing him for any real stretch changes the look of Toronto's infield.
The Blue Jays are chasing a wild-card spot right now, and every game without a regular starter carries real weight.
Hamstring injuries have a habit of lingering longer than initial exams suggest, especially once a player sits out more than one game.
Whether this turns into an actual IL stint or resolves on its own in the next day or two is still unclear.
For now, Toronto's infield keeps adjusting around his absence, and fans are left waiting for real clarity on how serious this actually is.
Are you worried Andres Gimenez is dealing with a more serious hamstring injury than the Blue Jays have said?
