Despite the fact that the Blue Jays just completed a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles to start the second half, I’d say they got the best news of the month earlier this weekend. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had hit the seven day DL a week ago, but cleared all of his concussion protocol tests and was allowed to return to the lineup.
Concussions can be a tricky thing, as we’ve witnessed with guys like Aaron Hill and Justin Morneau in the past, and I’m thankful that it looks like Gurriel escaped this situation with minor issues.
