The Blue Jays have replaced pitcher Francisco Liriano?on their postseason roster for at least one week -- a day after the lefty suffered a concussion in Torontos 5-3 victory over the Texas Rangers in Game 2 of the American League Division Series.Major League Baseball approved the roster substitution Saturday, allowing the team to replace Liriano with right-handed pitcher Danny Barnes.Liriano was hit in the neck by Rangers outfielder?Carlos Gomezs line-drive single in the eight inning of Fridays game. The ball ricocheted from just below Lirianos head into center field, allowing for a run to score.Liriano, 32, stayed on his feet and walked around the infield briefly before his teammates, a trainer and manager John Gibbons came out to check on him. He stayed briefly in the dugout, where he got a drink of water, before going to the trainers room.According to league rules, a team can request a roster substitution if a player is unable to play due to an injury. ?Liriano will be eligible to return during any postseason series, provided that he has been ineligible to play for a minimum of seven days (beginning Saturday) and gets medical approval from MLB.Team trainer George Poulis said Liriano felt good after tests Saturday.Were going to examine him each day and just go from there, Poulis said.Game 3 is Sunday at Toronto.Wearing a neck brace and lying on a stretcher, he was taken to the hospital for an examination after the game. Liriano flew back with the team to Toronto later Friday evening.The batted ball was measured at a speed of 102 mph, and Gomez winced as he headed to first.Liriano and Gomez were teammates in Minnesota and remain good friends. Gomez said he spoke to Liriano on the phone Friday night and was relieved to hear his friend was not seriously hurt.I slept better knowing he didnt have any problems, Gomez said, adding that he and Liriano had discussed going for dinner together on Saturday night.So, did Gomez plan on picking up the check after nailing his pal in the head?Were both rich, so it doesnt matter, he joked.The team plane stayed on the tarmac for one hour so that Liriano could fly with his teammates.It was one of the few times everybody was happy to wait before taking off, Blue Jays infielder Darwin Barney said. Usually you want to get out of there as fast as you can. When we found out he was coming, we were all happy to wait. Hes a competitor. He took that ball of the head and didnt even flinch. Obviously it might have rattled him a little bit but, man, he kind of showed what were all about out there.That was scary, said starter J.A. Happ, who in 2013 was hit by a line drive that fractured his skull behind his left ear but did not cause a concussion. It healed on its own.I dont know exactly whats going on but Im thinking about him a lot. Hes gone from here now so Im hoping for the best for the results, but yeah, that was scary, Happ said.Rangers manager Jeff Banister was bench coach in Pittsburgh when Liriano pitched for the Pirates. Banister called Fridays incident extremely scary.At any point in time, but even now, razor-thin situation of being tragic in my opinion, Banister said.Roberto Osuna replaced Liriano and helped seal the victory for the Blue Jays.That could happen to any one of us, Osuna said. I feel bad for him but I know hes going to be all right.?Toronto has a 2-0 series lead over Texas.ESPNs Jim Caple and Marly Rivera, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

PETERSBURG, Fla. Custom Wales Soccer Jerseys . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. Joe Ledley Jersey . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Jamie George has come to terms with playing a supporting role to Englands captain by accepting he is aiming for minutes not starts.Eddie Jones has made it clear that Dylan Hartley, who has presided over a 11-Test winning run, will not be dislodged as starting hooker, claiming his rivals in the position must console themselves with second-half cameos.At the front of the chasing pack is George, the Aviva Premierships joint leading try-scorer whose established set-piece expertise is being matched by a developing all-round game.On playing form alone the 26-year-old Saracen should be taking his place in the front row and while benefiting from an increasing number of minutes -- he played 29 in Saturdays victory over Fiji -- he knows Hartley is made indispensable by his leadership.Ive decided not to look at it like Im the understudy to the captain, George said. Ive just got to be ready as I can be for when the opportunity comes, whether that is seven minutes off the bench or like the half an hour I got at the weekend. I need to impress every time I get the opportunity to.Dylan is doing a great job, he leads from the front. Hes a brilliant captain of this team. The more I can impress in training, in games, the more game time potentially I get. That has been my mindset and Eddie didnt really need to tell me that. It becomes obvious.It has been going well for me, Ive been getting some good game time in the last two matches so Im pretty happy with that. Ive just got to keep working hard for when the time comes.George made his debut in a World Cup warm-up match against France in 2015 and none of his 10 caps have come as a starter.dddddddddddd.Id love to get more starts. Experience wise Ive played in a lot of big games for Saracens -- a lot of European games and a lot of finals. Ive started a lot of those games he said.With England its more about minutes on the pitch for me. The longer I can experience international rugby, the better I can be. Whether thats starting or off the bench, my main focus is minutes.Englands quest to post a 13th successive Test victory when they face Argentina on Saturday has received a boost with the availability of George Kruis, who has made a swift recovery from ankle surgery.Kruis is expected to replace the suspended Joe Launchbury in the second row and George marvels at the squads depth at lock.George brings so much to this team. His knowledge of the line-out is second to none, George said. I havent worked with too many people like him, other than maybe [forwards coach] Steve Borthwick. Hes a fantastic asset for us and a world class player.George is a light-hearted guy who likes a joke. Ive known him for a number of years at Saracens and hes one of the big characters in the squad. Hes liked by everyone.When he first came in, he built up that respect and that transfers off the field. Hes a big voice and character.The second row group weve got at the minute is unbelievable. Weve got guys like Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes so theres nothing to worry about. The guys that we have at our disposal is pretty scary. ' ' '
