Blue Jays placed INF Maicer Izturis on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle. Izturis suffered the injury on Tuesday and wasn't making swift enough progress. He should be ready for activation right around the time that he is first eligible.

Maicer Izturis could be placed on the disabled list if his sprained left ankle doesn't improve in a hurry. Izturis was injury during Tuesday's game and was still sporting a noticeable limp Wednesday. He'll be re-evaluated on Thursday before a decision is made on his roster status.

Maicer Izturis went 3-for-4 in the Blue Jays' win over the Orioles on Saturday. Izturis looked to be in line for less playing time with Brett Lawrie returning from the disabled list, but Lawrie's migration to second base has opened the door for Izturis to see more starts at third base. The 32-year-old is hitting .254/.294/.351 in 78 games this year.

Izturis is on a bit of a roll of late, as he's now hit safely in six straight games while raising his average from .228 to .251 in that span. But with Brett Lawrie inching closer to returning, Izturis' time as an everyday player will end soon.

Maicer Izturis finished 3-for-3 in Saturday's loss to the Twins. Izturis had three of Toronto's four hits. While he had a good day at the plate, he had a key baserunning blunder in the second inning.

Maicer Izturis went 1-for-4 with a single in Saturday's loss to the Yankees. Izturis isn't walking or making contact this season, and you already know his swing is punchless. Toronto was hoping for more than a .218/.242/.331 slash line when they signed Izturis from the Angels over the winter to a three-year, $9 million deal and the Jays recently sat him in three of four games.

Maicer Izturis (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a single in his return to the lineup Tuesday. Izturis sat out Monday's game due to some minor tightness in his hamstring. The 32-year-old is hitting just .164 (10-for-61) with two homers in 17 games this year.
