TORONTO -- The Blue Jays' list of walking wounded continues to grow, as Michael Saunders and Danny Valencia were held out of the lineup on Tuesday night because of minor injuries.
Valencia sprained his ankle while walking up the dugout steps following Monday's 3-1 victory over New York. Saunders had fluid drained from his knee earlier this week, and then received a cortisone shot to relieve some discomfort in the area.
Both injuries are considered minor, but with an off-day coming on Thursday, this was an opportunity to get both players some extended rest with the hope of returning Friday against Boston.
