Blue Jays’ Kevin Pillar Sidelined With Oblique Strain From Sneezing

The Toronto Blue Jays might want to look into having their players practice in bubbles, or at least start giving them antihistamines.

The club fell victim to the bizarre spring training injury bug once again after outfielder Kevin Pillar strained his right oblique from sneezing, per the Toronto Star’s Richard Griffin. Luckily for them, however, the 26-year-old only is expected to be out a week to 10 days.

Still, Pillar marks the third Jays injury in less than a month. Outfielder Michael Saunders tore his meniscus when he stepped on a sprinkler head while shagging balls on Feb. 26, and starting pitcher Marcus Stroman suffered a season-ending ACL tear Tuesday during fielding drills.
