Toronto All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will miss at least two weeks because of a cracked left shoulder blade.

“It’s a very small crack,” Blue Jays General Manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday. “Just talking with the doctors, if they had to guess, and really it’s only a guess at this point, it could be two to three weeks, and then he could be back for October.”

Tulowitzki was hurt when he collided with center fielder Kevin Pillar while chasing Didi Gregorius’ popup Saturday in the opener of a doubleheader.

“I knew something was wrong,” Tulowitzki said. “I don’t know what I felt, just a lot of pain.”

He has thrown 171 2/3 innings. “We’re all on the same page,” Collins said. “We need to get him out there a little more consistently.” ...
