Toronto Blue Jays with a bruised left heel.David Lennon ofNewsdayreported the news Felipe Vazquez Jersey , noting Gregorius will undergo further testing. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters the bruise is "pretty significant" and that Gregorius could land on the disabled list.The 28-year-old has been fairly durable since joining the Yankees, playing 155 games in 2015, 153 games in 2016 and 136 games in 2017.Gregoriusturned the corner the last two seasons from an offensive production standpoint, slashing .287/.318/.478 with 25 home runs and 87 RBI in 2017 after drilling 20 long balls the year prior.His prowess at the plate was one reason the Bronx Bombers advanced to Game 7 of the American League Championship Series before losing to the eventual champion Houston Astros last season.He has followed with a .268/.332/.481 slash line to go with 22 homers and 73 RBI in 2018.The left-handed hitting Gregorius' presence helps balance a New York offense featuring righties Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez when everyone is healthy, but there are still enough pieces to tread water until the shortstop is ready to return.The Yankees can turn toward Gleyber Torresat shortstop with the Dutchman out and rely on Neil Walker or Ronald Torreyesat second base in the meantime. ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves, losers of at least 90 games each of the past three seasons, can clinch an unlikely National League East title on Saturday.Mike Foltynewicz (11-10 http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-bell-jersey , 2.90 ERA) will get the start for the Braves at SunTrust Park as they try to close out the second-place Philadelphia Phillies with more than a week remaining in the regular season.Foltynewicz, a first-time All-Star in 2018, will be opposed by former Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta (10-9, 3.77 ERA) as the Phillies try to avoid elimination for at least another day after losing the first two games of the series.Article continues below ...The Braves (86-68) went to work late in both games against the bullpen of the Phillies (78-75), winning 6-5 on Friday night after an 8-3 victory in the series opener the previous night.With a 7 1/2-game lead and the magic number down to two, the Braves can clinch first place before their home fans on Sunday if they don’t do it Saturday.Cy Young candidate Aaron Nola (16-5, 2.44 ERA) will start the series finale for the Phillies, with Anibal Sanchez (6-6 Willie Stargell Jersey , 2.44 ERA) getting the call for Atlanta.The Braves play their final six games on the road, including a three-game series — that was once highly anticipated — in Philadelphia to end the regular season.It was Sean Newcomb’s turn to start on Saturday for the Braves, but the struggling left-hander was skipped and put in the bullpen for the time being despite leading the team with 12 victories.Newcomb’s 12 wins top the Braves, but he posted an 11.34 ERA while losing his past four home starts. “I don’t think he needed a break. He just wasn’t pitching that great,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said of the 25-year-old. “I talked to him about that. We are going to go with the other guys pretty much. Just trying to pitch the guys who were going a little better.” Foltynewicz is 1-1 with a 1.96 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 23 innings in four starts versus the Phillies this season, and 4-3 with a 3.51 ERA in 11 career outings against them.The 26-year-old right-hander failed to last at least five innings for just the second time this season in a loss to St. Louis on Monday, but he had pitched a complete game in his previous start at San Francisco.Arietta is 4-1 with a 2.29 ERA in six career starts against the Braves, carrying over the previous success he had with the Chicago Cubs to his lone outing for the Phillies this season.The 32-year-old right-hander worked 6 2/3 scoreless innings in a victory at Philadelphia on May 23 http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-bell-jersey , allowing seven hits and a walk while striking out seven.Arrieta’s performance has been in decline the past eight weeks or so, mirroring the downturn of his team. Since pitching eight scoreless innings on Aug. 3 at Arizona, he has gone 1-3 with a 6.02 ERA in seven starts.“What’s done is done. I’ve got to move forward and just try to be better,” Arrieta said.
