TORONTO — Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels with a sprained right ankle.
Tulowitzki hurt his ankle when he stepped awkwardly on first base after trying to run out a groundout in the third inning.
Tulowitzki's right foot looked to have caught the back of first baseman C.J. Cron's foot and part of the base at the same time as he stepped down before his ankle rolled over.
The 32-year-old needed to be helped off the field by team staff after briefly lying on the field in pain.
"We'll have a better idea tomorrow, I'm sure he'll get checked out somehow," Toronto manager John Gibbons said post-game. "(I'm) sure he'll get an MRI on that or something."
Tulowitzki has played in 65 games this season and missed time in April and May with a strained right hamstring.
He entered Friday's contest batting .250 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs.
