Blue Jays Announce Ernie Clement News After Leaving Cardinals Game<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Toronto Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday with a 5-2 victory, keeping pace in the American League postseason picture. The win improved the Blue Jays to 38-30 on the season, as they have now won eight of their last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s offense was fueled by Ernie Clement, who went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in the fifth inning that provided a crucial insurance run. His fourth homer of the season continued his dominance against left-handed pitching. Starter Eric Lauer held the Cardinals to two runs over 4.1 innings, backed by effective relief outings from Spencer Turnbull and Brendon Little to close out the win.<\/p>\n

However, the celebration was tempered when Clement exited the game in the ninth inning. He was replaced defensively at third base by Addison Barger.<\/p>\n

Following the game, the Blue Jays announced via manager John Schneider that\u00a0Clement is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury\u00a0(via\u00a0Sportsnet\u2019s Ben Nicholson-Smith<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Schneider downplayed the severity, telling reporters of Clement, “Being that he\u2019s a hockey fan, we\u2019re going to call it a lower-body injury.”<\/p>\n

This season, Clement has been a versatile spark plug for the Blue Jays. He has provided key offensive and defensive performances for the Blue Jays in recent games, including a five-RBI game in a 12-0 win over the Athletics on May 29.<\/p>\n

His absence, even briefly, could impact the lineup\u2019s flexibility as the Blue Jays prepare to kick off a series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.<\/p>\n
