Halladay/Glaus Injured
TORONTO -- Former Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay is expected to miss four to six weeks after having an emergency appendectomy Friday, the latest bad break for the struggling Toronto Blue Jays.
Halladay arrived at Rogers Centre on Friday looking pale and complaining of pain in his lower right abdomen. Trainer George Poulis recognized the symptoms and took Halladay to a local hospital for surgery.
Halladay was placed on the 15-day disabled list. The Blue Jays did not immediately announce a roster move.
"You've got to look at it as a chance for someone else to step up," Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "We're not going to sit here and raise the white flag, say we're quitting."
"We've got some young kids who are going to get an opportunity now. We'll see who can handle coming up here and giving us those innings, giving us a chance to win."
Halladay lasted only five innings and was hit hard in an 8-0 loss to Boston on Thursday, one start after giving up a season-high nine runs in an 11-4 loss to Texas. The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner is 4-2 with a 4.37 ERA in eight starts.
The rout by Boston was the Blue Jays' ninth straight loss and left them in last place in the AL East.
On Thursday, Toronto lost closer B.J. Ryan for the year after he had ligament replacement surgery on his left elbow, and put right-hander Victor Zambrano on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm.

Can it get any worse??
Conclusion - Yes it can!
TORONTO -- Blue Jays infielder Troy Glaus left Friday night's game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays after just one at-bat when he suffered an apparent leg injury while running out a fly ball.
Glaus, who missed 14 games earlier this season because of a sore left heel, hit a drive to deep center in the first. He appeared to stumble halfway to first base, and yelled out in pain. He bent over behind the bag, then limped off the field alongside trainer George Poulis.
Jason Smith replaced Glaus at third base to start the second inning.
The Blue Jays have lost nine straight games and have been riddled with injuries to key players. Starter Roy Halladay underwent an emergency appendectomy Friday and will miss four to six weeks. Closer B.J. Ryan had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Thursday and will miss the rest of the year.
