TORONTO (AP) 鈥� Plate umpire Jordan Baker left Saturday鈥檚 Boston Red Sox-Toronto Blue Jays game after eight innings because of the impact of being struck by multiple foul tips and entered Major League Baseball's concussion protocol.
The 41-year-old Baker, a member of MLB's staff since 2014, will miss Sunday's series finale at a minimum, according to the commissioner's office.
Baker needed attention from Toronto鈥檚 athletic trainer after he was hit on the left shoulder during Justin Turner鈥檚 at-bat in the fourth. Baker left the field between the top and bottom of the inning to receive further treatment.
鈥淵ou hate seeing an umpire get hurt like that,鈥� Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. 鈥淛ordan took a beating today.鈥�
The game was delayed after eight innings while second base umpire Brennan Miller changed into his gear to work the plate. The game continued with three umpires.
A Blue Jays spokesperson said Baker鈥檚 status for Sunday鈥檚 series finale was unknown.
