The Toronto Blue Jays placed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a right quadriceps strain.
Tulowitzki missed two straight games earlier this week with soreness in his quad before returning to the lineup for Friday's victory against the Boston Red Sox.
But Blue Jays manager John Gibbons told reporters that the five-time All-Star aggravated the injury Friday and was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday.
The Blue Jays announced the roster move before Saturday afternoon's game against the Red Sox. Darwin Barney replaced Tulowitzki as Toronto's shortstop in the starting lineup, while left-hander Aaron Loup was activated from the 15-day DL to replace Tulowitzki on the active roster.
Tulowitzki, 31, had gotten off to a slow start this season, batting a career-low .204 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs in 46 games. He has batted just .221 in 87 games since being acquired by Toronto in last year's blockbuster trade with the Colorado Rockies.
Tulowitzki has been plagued by injuries throughout his career and has not played in more than 126 games in any single season since 2011.
