Jays replace ailing Travis on roster after knee injury flares up in Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The Toronto Blue Jays replaced the ailing Devon Travis on their roster with Justin Smoak on Saturday, meaning the second baseman/leadoff hitter is done for the season
Travis, who has been nursing a bone bruise on his knee, exited in the fifth inning of Friday’s 2-0 loss to the Indians in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. He was replaced in the game by Ryan Goins.
Travis, who said after the game he had felt a “super sharp pain in my knee,” returned to Toronto to have an MRI on Saturday morning.
Toronto GM Ross Atkins said the latest knee injury was separate from the bone bruise.
