Brett Bateman Day-to-Day After MRI on Right Hip Comes Back Negative

Brett Bateman is day-to-day after an MRI on his right hip returned negative, revealing only inflammation. Blue Jays manager John Schneider noted that Bateman has a chance to return to action later this week if he responds well to rest. In his absence, Myles Straw is covering center field for Toronto in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.
