Brett Lawrie Placed on DL

Abelimages/Getty Images(TORONTO) — The Toronto Blue Jays placed third baseman Brett Lawrie on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a left ankle sprain.

Lawrie suffered the injury during the Jays’ 9-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves Monday when he was stealing second base. Lawrie stayed in the game for one more batter but then was pulled for a pinch-runner.

The DL stint is retroactive to Tuesday because Lawrie couldn’t play in Toronto’s 7-6 loss to the Braves Tuesday.

The Jays have called up right-handed pitcher Todd Redmond from Triple-A Buffalo, and selected the contracts of lefty Juan Perez and right-hander Neil Wagner from Buffalo as well. First baseman Clint Robinson was designated for assignment.
