Blue Jays' Brett Lawrie goes back on disabled list after just one game
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed third baseman Brett Lawrie on the disabled list with a strained left oblique, the team announced Thursday.
Lawrie returned from the DL on Tuesday after missing 36 games with a broken finger but exited Toronto's loss to the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth inning with discomfort in his back.
Lawrie, 24, is in his fourth major league season. He's batting .247 with a .426 slugging percentage in 70 games this year.
With Edwin Encarnacion out with a quad injury, both of Toronto's primary corner infielders are currently injured.
