TORONTO — Tests results on Saturday revealed that Blue Jays left-hander Francisco Liriano has a “mild concussion.” Liriano has been replaced on the American League Division Series roster with righty Danny Barnes. Liriano could return for the AL Championship Series, should the Blue Jays advance, after missing seven days.

Liriano sustained the concussion when he was struck by a line drive off the bat of Rangers outfielder Carlos Gomez during Friday’s 5-3 victory in Game 2. He was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation — and the good news is, there was no skull fracture.

Game 3 of the ALDS is in Rogers Centre, Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT on TBS in the United States and in Spanish on MLB Network. The game will be televised by Sportsnet (English) and TVA (French) in Canada.
