Loperfido collapsed in the sixth inning at Coors Field, but X-rays and follow-up imaging revealed no fractures or patellar damage. </p><p>MLB’s Keegan Matheson took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) account and confirmed that the knee contusion will keep the rookie <a href="https://x.com/KeeganMatheson/status/1952939189122809950" rel="noopener">on a day-to-day basis rather than</a> Loperfido landing on the injured list.</p><p>“Joey Loperfido had X-rays which came back negative, so it’s a “right knee contusion” for now, but one that looked awfully painful. #BlueJays”</p><p>Loperfido’s quick diagnosis highlights the importance of modern medical protocols in preserving roster stability. After initial X-rays ruled out bone damage, an ultrasound confirmed the absence of ligament tears, leading to an official determination of a right knee contusion. That means no IL stint or 40-man move is needed, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-news-bo-bichette-credits-blue-jays-depth-giants-takedown">preserving the Blue Jays’ bench depth</a> and allowing manager John Schneider to continue utilizing his outfield rotation without disruption.</p><p>Recalled from Triple-A on July 6th, Loperfido has slashed .389/.436/.542 in 72 at-bats, collecting 28 hits, three homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs, four walks and a stolen base. His emergence has provided a crucial infusion of offense and defense behind established starters like George Springer, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. By maintaining his availability, the team retains a dynamic depth contributor who can spell starters, pinch-hit or patrol the outfield late in games.</p><p>Toronto entered Tuesday at 66-48, three games up in the AL East. With a pivotal three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers starting Friday, roster flexibility is at a premium. Keeping Loperfido off the IL lets the Jays lean on veterans without burning a 40-man spot on another call-up. Toronto will look to complete a three-game sweep of Colorado on Wednesday, take Thursday off, and then host L.A. for a crucial weekend series.</p><p>Negative imaging and a contusion diagnosis are the best possible outcome after a frightening scare in Denver. Rather than reshuffle the roster, Toronto can ice, rest and rehabilitate Loperfido’s knee. If swelling subsides quickly, he could pinch-hit as soon as Friday’s opener of the three-game series against the New York Yankees and return to right field by August 12 when the club hosts the Chicago Cubs, providing yet another spark for a team that refuses to slow down.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
