J.A. Happ was released from the hospital yesterday after he was hit in the head by a line drive during Tuesday?s start against the Rays. While the most important thing is that he?s going to be OK, the Blue Jays are going to have to get by without him for a little while.
According to Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com, Happ is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. The 30-year-old left-hander suffered a head contusion and a small fracture behind his left ear as a result of the comebacker, but he is also dealing with a sprained right knee.
The current plan calls for Happ to be idle for about one week before he starts throwing off flat ground. If all goes according to plan, he could be back in Toronto?s rotation in the early part of June. Pretty remarkable given the scary nature of Tuesday?s incident.
Happ has a 4.91 ERA and 26/19 K/BB ratio in 33 innings over seven starts this season. He owns a 4.23 ERA in the majors.
