 | Monday, May 17th, 2010: Toronto's Accardo Injured
Dealing with injuries is part of the game and now Jeremy Accardo of the Blue Jays knows this firsthand. He was injured against the Baltimore Orioles while throwing a pitch. Diagnosed as a strained back muscle, the Toronto reliever is expected to miss 8 weeks. Accardo was a little upset, but understands it comes with the territory. "Baseball can be a contact sport. You try to be careful, but no matter how careful you are, injuries happen."
