Blue Jays place OF Gurriel (quad) on IL

The Toronto Blue Jays put outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the 10-day injured list Saturday with strained left quadriceps. Gurriel, 25, sustained the injury in the ninth inning of Thursday's 12-6 loss to the New York Yankees. He left the game after hustling to first base with an infield single.

Gurriel is batting .279/.331/.548 with 19 homers and 47 RBIs in 79 games this season. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays recalled right-hander Brock Stewart from Triple-A Buffalo.

Stewart, 27, was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 31 and made his Toronto debut with four scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 4-3 win against the Tampa Bay Rays. --Field Level Media
