Blue Jays still facing uncertain timeline with Jose Bautista

Turf Toe can be tricky. It’s an injury that has a nasty habit of lingering.

The injury is more commonly seen in the NFL, but it found Jose Bautista when the Blue Jays’ right-fielder collided with the wall in Philadelphia and hyperextended his big toe upwards.

Bautista has recently been able to go without the walking boot he was wearing, but the Blue Jays are still unable to nail down a definitive timeline for his return.

#BlueJays don’t yet have a clear timeline for Jose Bautista, but Gibbons says “hopefully we can get him back at the end of the month”

This is the unfortunate nature of the injury, however, and has little to do with the player, manager, or team.
