TORONTO (AP) — Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells left Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay with dislocated big toe on his right foot.

A three-time Gold Glove award winner, Wells was injured when he jumped against the outfield fence to catch a deep drive by Rays outfielder Ben Zobrist in the sixth, helping preserve Brandon Morrow’s no-hit bid.

Wells stayed down for a moment after making the catch, then jogged gingerly off the field. Travis Snider batted for Wells when his spot in the order came up in the bottom half of the inning.

Wells, who hit an RBI single in the first, is batting .274 with 22 home runs and 60 RBIs.
