Toronto Blue Jays left fielder Daulton Varsho did not return for the bottom of the third inning during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
Varsho hit a grounder down the first-base line during his at-bat in the second inning and slid awkwardly as he attempted to avoid the tag from Giants pitcher Logan Webb.
The team later announced he was removed from the game with a left knee contusion.
After the game, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Varsho is day-to-day with the knee injury.
Blue Jays first base coach Mark Budzinski helped Varsho up off of the field and trainer Voon Chong also came to check him out.
Although Varsho initially remained in the game, he did not return to the field for the bottom of the third inning and was replaced by Davis Schneider.
Varsho is batting .197 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs this season.
