Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar will miss time after straining an oblique with a hard sneeze Saturday morning.
Now I know what your all thinking. A Sneeze really? this cant be at all true. But it is indeed. In fact its not that uncommon of an issue. The most popular instance was during the 2001 world series race. Chicago Cubs All-Star Sammy Sosa had the exact same type of injury. We have to remember that being out in the dry heats of some of these ballparks can truly mess up ones immune system and cause in-explainable injuries.
That's all you can do in these instances laugh at nature's cruel humor and get back in the game when the healing is done.
Pillar is batting .269 through 26 plate appearances, with one home run and five RBI. He's currently in contention for a starting job in the outfield, and if he can manage his sneezes more consistently, he could be a real asset to this Blue Jays team.
Godspeed and bless you, good sir.
