Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista left the game against the Orioles in the third inning with discomfort in his left wrist, the same one he sprained over a month ago (July 16) against the Yankees.
Due to Bautista's departure, Mike McCoy moved over to right field and Colby Rasmus took center field.
Bautista left game with "left wrist discomfort," according to press-box announcement. That's obviously the same wrist he sprained.

The Blue Jays and Orioles were tied 2-2 through the first three innings, with Toronto striking first in the opening inning when they scored on an Edwin Encarnacion two-run homer deep to left field, which scored Bautista, who was walked.
We will have more on the Bautista injury as the details come in.
