Atkins: Gibbons likely away until Friday

BOSTON -- Blue Jays manager John Gibbons is expected to be away from his team until at least Friday because of personal business.

Gibbons has been away since Saturday morning and it's not immediately clear exactly when he will return, but it's not expected to be on the current road trip. Bench coach DeMarlo Hale will continue to serve as the acting manager until Gibbons is able to return.

The Blue Jays have remained vague when asked about what has kept Gibbons away from his team, citing personal reasons.

"I think the most likely scenario is that we'll see him, not until the homestand," Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said.
