Travis’ status for start of the season still in doubt
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis ran sprints in the outfield Monday, still unsure of his status for opening day.
Travis has been slowed by a bone bruise on his right knee, which had off-season surgery to remove a small flap of cartilage.
“He’s got to get moving quick to do that because he needs some work,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “He’s cutting it close.”
Travis is taking batting practice and could get some at-bats as a designated hitter in minor league games this week.
