<p>Here&#8217;s some good news on Teoscar Hernandez.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As expected, he&#8217;s going on the 10-day Injured List with an oblique strain, but, fortunately, the injury isn&#8217;t as bad as <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/2022/04/14/blue-jays-news-dump-teoscar-compares-injury-to-one-from-2020-ross-stripling-to-start-on-friday-and-more/">first thought</a>. Teoscar said that he figures he&#8217;ll miss maybe two weeks of play.</p>

<p>Back in 2020, Hernandez suffered an oblique strain and wound up spending the minimum amount of time on the Injured List, which was 10 days. Hopefully it&#8217;s the same this time around, though I would expect the Blue Jays to be a bit more conservative now than they were in 2020, as they were in a full-on sprint for a playoff spot at that time.</p>
<p>Coming up in Hernandez&#8217;s absence will be utility guy Gosuke Katoh, who was recently sent down to Triple-A in order to fit Bradley Zimmer on the 28-man roster.</p>

<p>Toronto&#8217;s lineup certainly looks a lot thinner without Teoscar. On Thursday night in New York, Matt Chapman is getting a day off, so the team&#8217;s lineup features Raimel Tapia batting fifth, which isn&#8217;t ideal. George Springer is the designated hitter, while Zimmer will make his first start as a Blue Jay in centre field.</p>
