Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Vernon Wells has a left hamstring injury that could sideline him for most of spring training.
Wells was hurt during drills on Monday. It's the same hamstring
that kept him out for a month last season. The two-time All-Star
was scheduled for an MRI late in the day and the team was waiting
for results.
Wells missed 52 games due to injuries in 2008. He broke his left
wrist making a sliding catch early in the season, then returned to
the disabled list July 10 with a strained left hamstring.
A three-time Gold Glove winner, Wells batted .300 with 20 home
runs and 78 RBIs in 108 games last year.
