Fantasy Impact

Loperfido had a frightening moment during Tuesday's game against the Cardinals when he stumbled and crashed head-first into the wall while tracking a flyball. Fortunately, he appears to have escaped without a major injury, dealing only with some neck and upper back discomfort. He will be re-evaluated Wednesday, but Schneider is optimistic that he "hopefully doesn’t miss much time." While Loperfido remains in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot, any lingering effects could slow his push for playing time in Toronto’s crowded outfield.

The Blue Jays say Joey Loperfido came out of Tuesday's game with neck discomfort.
