- On Monday, Toronto Blue Jays rookie Brett Bateman suffered a right hip injury while making a sliding catch against the Baltimore Orioles, though precautionary X-rays were negative, the team said.
- Toronto's playoff push faces mounting challenges, sitting three games behind the Chicago White Sox for the final American League wild card, with health concerns already affecting Dylan Cease and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
- Acquired in an August trade that sent pitcher Kevin Gausman to the Chicago Cubs, Bateman has hit.320 in 38 games since his August 7 debut.
- Bateman's slide left a divot in the ground and he rolled over awkwardly after retiring Rece Hinds, walking off the field very slowly before being replaced in the field.
- Vladimir Guerrero missed Monday's game with back trouble, starting pitcher Trey Yesavage was limited to two innings in his return from knee inflammation, and Dylan Cease remains sidelined with shoulder issues.
