After two players have been sidelined due to Staph infections, the Toronto Blue Jays have been forced to do a cleanup of their clubhouse. The Blue Jays spokesman and manager seem to differ a bit on where the infections were acquired:
Blue Jays spokesman Jay Stenhouse said the “clubhouse was absolutely not the source of the infection.” They don’t know how Taubenheim was infected.
Stenhouse said health inspectors examined the entire clubhouse over the All-Star break, including the shower and hot tub areas.
Manager John Gibbons acknowledged it could have easily come from Toronto’s locker room.
“Staph infections are prevalent in most clubhouses. It could have happened here, it could have happened in Atlanta, Florida or some other clubhouse,” Gibbons said. “Nobody knows, but it’s pretty common in most clubhouses. I can remember growing up in high school, things like that. It just thrives in that atmosphere.”
As a side note, I surely apologize for the lack of updates. A series of pain-in-the-rear events after our vacation left me away from my beloved computer for a few days, but I am back. I hope you all are doing well and staying very healthy!
