TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays have placed slugger Jose Bautista on the 15-day disabled list because of a sprained left knee.Obviously when you lose one of the best players in the game, thats a tough blow to a team, general manager Ross Atkins said.Bautista stumbled and fell while attempting to make a throw from right field in the third inning Tuesday in a 9-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He finished the game but his knee worsened overnight, leading to an MRI on Wednesday that confirmed a Grade 1 sprain.I was surprised that it felt the way it did this morning, Bautista said. Obviously it was getting worse as the game was going so I knew that I did something, but I didnt expect it to feel this bad when I woke up.A free agent at the end of the season, Bautista is batting .222 with 15 home runs and 48 RBI. He was on the disabled list from June 17 to July 25 with a sore left big toe, suffered when he leaped into the outfield wall during a game at Philadelphia.Bautista called his latest injury extremely frustrating, especially after getting four hits in his past 11 at-bats.I was starting to get in the groove of things, Bautista said. I was seeing the ball pretty good and making solid contact in the last five, six games.Bautista is the second Blue Jays outfielder to go on the disabled list this week. He follows center fielder Kevin Pillar, who was placed on the 15-day DL on Monday with a sprained left thumb.Toronto recalled outfielder Junior Lake and right-hander Ryan Tepera from Triple-A Buffalo. Tepera takes the place of right-hander Danny Barnes, who was optioned to Buffalo following Tuesdays loss.Mesut Ozil Jersey .

But it is nevertheless a major unresolved decision for the?Tampa Bay Lightning?organization. The difference this time around is that its not about a player making up his mind as much as it is?Ben Bishop waiting to find out from the Lightning what his future entails.The 29-year-old netminder got a clue at the NHL draft last June when a potential trade with the?Calgary Flames?fell through because he couldnt come to terms on a contract extension with the Flames (a stipulation his camp made, given that he had a no-move clause). Instead, the Flames traded for Brian Elliott, and Bishop, who is in the final year of his deal (at $5.95 million), remained with the Lightning. Its a bit awkward, perhaps, but its part of the business.Its one of those things that could have happened, but it fell through, Bishop said Monday, shrugging, when asked about the potential trade to Calgary. Being around long enough, you realize that sometimes there are going to be business decisions made. And if they dont work, they dont work, and theres nothing you can really do about it. You cant sit there and sulk or worry about it. You have to just go out there and keep playing. Im pretty fortunate to have a job with Tampa. Its a great team and a great place to play. So Im pretty happy about everything going on.Theres no question that the team showed its hand ahead of next Junes expansion draft before the new Las Vegas team enters the league, when clubs will only be able to protect one goalie -- not only in the attempted trade with Calgary, but also when it signed 22-year-old Andrei Vasilevskiy to a three-year, $10.5 million contract extension this past offseason.So what now?Lightning general manager?Steve Yzerman?has?the following options regarding Bishop, who will be a pending unrestricted free agent next summer:1) If a team makes a good enough offer ahead of the March 1 trade deadline, take the asset(s) it nets.2) Keep Bishop for the rest of the season for another, all-hands-on-deck run at the Stanley Cup. If he walks away for nothing in free agency, so be it. The cap space the Lightning would earn next July would still be valuable considering that?Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Jonathan Drouin all will need new deals.3) If Bishop plays out of his mind en route to a Conn Smythe Trophy and Stanley Cup championship, maybe the Lightning will try sign him after all.Yzerman met with Bishop in September. While Bishop on Monday said the content of that conversation will remain private, I suspect the message from Yzerman was that the Lightning still value very much what Bishop brings to the table and that while the GM cant give him any definite answers on how this is all going to play out, the only thing the veteran goalie can do is play his guts out and let the chips fall where they may.dddddddddddd Which is exactly what Bishop intends to do.As far as Im concerned, every door is still open, Bishop said. You have a great year, and you never know what can happen. Im not really thinking its going to happen just that way (getting traded). It could happen a couple of different ways.In the meantime, the Lightning will benefit from having both goalies for one more year -- particularly this season, which features a compressed schedule because of Septembers World Cup of Hockey and the new five-day bye week each team will get in the second half. Just like the Pittsburgh Penguins see value in keeping both Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray for one more season before they have to make a decision about them ahead of the expansion draft, having two No. 1 goalies during stretches when teams must play three games in four nights and/or five games in eight days will be a luxury. While other NHL teams will be forced to play true backup netminders more because of the compressed schedule, the Penguins and Lightning can roll out a No. 1 goalie every night.You look what happened in L.A., [with]?Jonathan Quick getting hurt, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Monday. Freak things like that happen. You need to have depth at all positions. I dont know if theres a more important position in sports, aside from the quarterback in football, than the goaltending position. So to have depth in that area like we do, you cherish it as long as you can.Now its up to the coach to figure out how to dole out those starts to two guys who want the net. Cooper was quoted recently suggesting something of a 50-30 games split between Bishop and the younger Vasilevsky.The one thing is, you got to get Vasilevsky more games [than last season]. Its whats best for our team and whats best for him, said Cooper. But you have to keep Bish engaged too, because hes a two-time Vezina finalist the last three years and hes a big reason we are where we are today. So theres a balance. But if you really think about it, you start getting into the crux of the season, youre playing 3-4 games a week, guys are getting in. I just want to find a way to have both guys play every week. Its my job to find a way to get them in, and thats whats going to happen.The best part of it all is that the two goalies have a terrific relationship by all accounts, the veteran serving as a mentor to the youngster.Hes a young kid, hes still kind of learning the ways, said Bishop. Im happy to help him. I think hes going to be a star in this league.His pupil clearly appreciates Bishops guidance. Im just watching him almost every day, practice days, game days, said Vasilevskiy. I just watch how he prepares before games, and how he recovers after the game. Hes just so professional.The future for both of them? Thats for another day.I dont think about it, said Vasilevskiy. Were just doing our jobs. Were just helping our team get points and win a Stanley Cup. Were good friends. We dont think about what might happen. ' ' '
