MRI reveals ligament damage in Tulowitzki's right ankle

After leaving Friday's game upon twisting his ankle on first base, Troy Tulowitzki's MRI revealed the Toronto Blue Jays shortstop suffered ligament damage and will need further evaluation from a specialist.

Tulowitzki was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday and, at the time, manager John Gibbons expected a short-term absence.

Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney will likely share the shortstop duties going forward, with newcomer Rob Refsnyder taking some second base responsibilities.

The 32-year-old Tulowitzki has played in 66 games this season, posting a .249/.300/.378 slash line while hitting 22 percent below the league average by wRC+.
