Saunders to miss 4-6 weeks, see Dr. Andrews

HOUSTON -- Even by normal standards, the Blue Jays' injury woes this season just keep getting more pronounced.

General manager Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that outfielder Michael Saunders will miss 4-6 weeks and have his left knee looked at by famed specialist Dr. James Andrews next week.

"He's going to go get examined," Anthopoulos said. "It's just something that, it was still sore. Even though he got time off and took the cortisone shot, he played that Saturday [May 9] and still had pain. He just needs to recover and get rest. At this point, I would expect it to be quite a bit of time.
