In the top of the sixth inning in Kansas City, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes suffered a potentially-nasty looking leg injury. While stealing second base, Reyes awkwardly slid into the bag, and immediately grabbed his ankle area in pain.
As trainers came onto the field and began to examine Reyes' left ankle, he began to wince in pain. Upon viewing replays of the play, Reyes ankle gave out as he looked back at Royals catcher Sal Perez and opted to slide into the bag late as opposed to going in standing up. His spikes got caught in the dirt, and his ankle rolled up underneath his body during the slide.
Reyes would be taken off the field in a cart, and hopefully for the Blue Jays, it's just a sprain as opposed to a broken bone. If Reyes' ankle or leg is broken, he'll probably end up missing a good bit of the rest of the season, which would be a shame considering how well he's played for a Toronto team that's largely underachieved so far this season.
UPDATE: Initial reports have the injury as a sprain, with Reyes missing somewhere between one and three months, with an exact diagnosis coming tomorrow.
