Jose Bautista lands on disabled list after jamming toe on outfield wall

All-Star slugger Jose Bautista was in the middle of another standout campaign for the Toronto Blue Jays, but then he ran into a wall. Literally.

The Blue Jays placed Bautista on the 15-day disabled list with a big toe strain, they announced on Friday.

Bautista jammed the toe in the seventh inning of Thursday’s 13-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies when he crashed into the right field wall trying to run down a fly ball off the bat of catcher Cameron Rupp.

Here is video of the play:

The Blue Jays appear confident that Bautista’s toe is not fractured, but he will undergo further testing and has no timetable for a return as of yet, per Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com.

#BlueJays seem confident that Bautista's toe is not fractured. But he needs to see more specialists to find out exactly what happened.

Bautista likely will get a "stress X-ray" possibly a CT scan and other tests to determine exact cause. #BlueJays

I cannot provide a timetable for Bautista's return because the #BlueJays dont even know. Specialist has to weigh in first.

The 35-year-old Bautista is hitting just .230/.360/.455 this season but has still managed to rack up 12 home runs, 41 RBIs, and an AL-leading 48 walks.

Now we know that the right field scoreboard at Citizens Bank Park is at least as hazardous as Rougned Odor’s right fist.
