The Blue Jays were without second baseman Devon Travis again on Wednesday night due to a mysterious finger sprain that crept up earlier this month when the team was in New York and worsened this week. “I have no idea what happened,” said the 25-year-old, who was wearing a splint on his right ring finger before Wednesday’s game against the L.A. Angels. Travis said he doesn’t expect to require a stint on the disabled list and is hoping to be back as early as Thursday. Travis has been one of the hottest hitters in the Jays’ lineup — batting .341 since the all-star break while taking over leadoff duties — which makes the injury particularly frustrating. “The fact that I can’t even tell myself how it happened makes it even more frustrating,” he said.
