Rios Hospitalized Thursday

Jun 29, 2006 10:48 PM EST

Blue Jays right fielder Alex Rios was hospitalized Thursday and expected to remain overnight to receive treatment on a bad infection in his lower left leg.

On Tuesday, Rios fouled a ball off his leg during their 6-0 victory over the Washington Nationals. The area swelled and he sat out Wednesday's game as a precaution. But the pain in his leg got worse Thursday, so the team sent him to the hospital.

"Rios isn't doing too good," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "They're going to keep him overnight to see how it develops."

Jays Won't Deal Wells In Trade With Angels

Jun 15, 2006 4:41 PM EST

The Blue Jays continue to be linked to the Angels in trade talks. The latest rumours suggest Angels GM Bill Stoneman wants a top flight right-handed bat, and is willing to part with 23-year-old starting sensation Ervin Santana.

The price, in terms of the Jays, is Vernon Wells, which is not a legitimate possibility.
