BlueJays manager Charlie Montoyo on Devon Travis after another injury setback: '...I believe in Travis, and I think he’s going to be good and hit again … Whenever he’s ready, it will be because he’s ready to hit in the Big Leagues.' (SNJeffBlair)
Travis addressed the media Sunday after his announcement, seeming almost embarrassed at times but also buoyant, at least on the surface. Baseball players must by nature be eternal optimists – it’s that whole fail two out of three times and you’re still an All-Star thing – but Travis is being tested like few others. Publicly, at least, he was upbeat."Probably the best part is knowing what I needed to get done, getting it done and now moving forward," he said.
Among Travis’ injuries was a nagging shoulder condition in his 2015 rookie season that was later diagnosed as os acromiale — Travis is running out of runway. His saving grace is the manager’s contention that Travis is the best candidate to lead-off for the Blue Jays, at least until Bichette arrives next season. That, plus he has a first-year manager who has his back and isn’t afraid to say so.
