TORONTO — Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., was reinstated from the 10-day injured list by the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon.

The move made him available to play in the matinee between Toronto and the New York Yankees.

Gurriel has been out since Aug. 9 because of a left quad strain he suffered while running to first base trying to beat out a ground ball.

At the time of the injury, Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo believed the injury was just a cramp, but it was announced the following day the 25-year-old would hit the injured list with a quad injury.
