Western Bulldogs ruckman Jordan Rougheads vision remains hazy as he races to recover from a freak eye injury in time for the AFL grand final.Roughead was hit in the right eye with the footy at close range in the second quarter of Saturdays preliminary final against Greater Western Sydney and says he couldnt see out of the eye until after the game.The vision came back a fair bit on Saturday night post-game, he told AAP on Monday.Up until three-quarter time, I had absolutely no vision but it just gradually came back.Its still a little bit hazy but it seems to be healing well and were positive about the prospects going forward.Roughead had a follow-up appointment with a specialist on Monday and says he will make a cautious return to training, with his recovery focused on draining residual blood from his eye.If I do too much, too early, it could bleed again and I could lose the vision again, he said.At the moment Im on doctors orders just sitting at home. Ill just take it easy over the next few days, hopefully get out there and do a little bit tomorrow and then train on Thursday.Roughead would be a huge loss for the Bulldogs if he cant recover in time for Saturdays grand final against Sydney at the MCG.The 25-year-old was injured at a critical point of the game but doctors immediately made the decision to wrap him in cotton wool.I was a bit frustrated at that because I thought Id have five or six minutes to see how it cleared up and get back out there, he said.There was no concussion or anything like that. It was a pretty weird one.Tall forward Tom Boyd spent time in the ruck after Roughead was sidelined but struggled against experienced Giants big man Shane Mumford.Tom Campbell looms as Rougheads most likely replacement if he is ruled out, with out-of-favour veteran Will Minson a long shot to make a grand final appearance after playing just two games this season.Ive had my fair share of injuries and its a pretty disappointing one, Roughead said.Youre not expecting to go into a game and cop a footy to the face and miss the remainder.I guess thats all part of footy and fortunately the boys were bloody good on Saturday night and got the job done.

TORONTO -- Marco Estrada is still dealing with the sore back that forced him to skip his first All-Star Game. Even so, he was effective enough for the Toronto Blue Jays.Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki hit solo home runs in the first inning, Estrada snapped a four-start winless streak and Toronto beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Friday night.Encarnacion reached base three times and scored twice as the Blue Jays won the opener of a three-game series between the top two teams in the AL East, cutting Baltimores division lead to half a game. The Orioles have lost four straight.Estrada (6-4) allowed three earned runs and five hits in six innings.I dont feel 100 percent, Estrada said, but I still feel I can give the team quality innings.On July 6, one day after he was picked as an All-Star, Estrada was put on the 15-day disabled list. He was activated last Friday and took the loss in a 2-1 defeat to Seattle.Originally scheduled to start Wednesday against San Diego, Estrada switched places with R.A. Dickey and was pushed back two days to Friday.I thought Marco was a little bit off with his command, manager John Gibbons said. His changeup was bouncing. They dont normally do that. Maybe the time off affected him.Estrada said the soreness is worst in the early innings before his back loosens up.The more pitches I throw, the better it gets, he said. It never completely goes away but its definitely manageable.Joaquin Benoit worked the seventh, Jason Grilli gave up Manny Machados solo home run in the eighth and Roberto Osuna finished for his 22nd save.Mark Trumbos two-out double gave Baltimore a 2-0 lead in the first but the Blue Jays answered with a trio of solo shots in the bottom half.Bautista sent Kevin Gausmans second pitch of the game off the facing of the second deck, Encarnacion hit a one-out blast and Tulowitzki added a two-out homer.Encarnacions homer was his 28th, third most in majors.Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Gausman never really found his step against the powerful Blue Jays.He made a llot of mistakes with his breaking ball and just elevated a lot of pitches, Showalter said.dddddddddddd He made some good pitches but not enough of them against a good hitting team.It was the second time this season and 35th time in team history the Blue Jays have hit three home runs in an inning. The last time it happened was July 5, when Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson and Ezequiel Carrera connected in the third off Kansas Citys Chris Young.The Orioles lead the majors with 152 home runs while Toronto is second with 147. The Blue Jays have 15 multihomer innings this season.Machado tied it 3-all when he scored from first base on an infield grounder in the third. With third baseman Donaldson shifted to the right side, Machado broke for third base after Donaldson threw Chris Davis out at first. Catcher Russell Martin scrambled to cover third base but couldnt handle Justin Smoaks throw.Machado scored standing up as the ball rolled down the third base line toward home plate.After throwing seven shutout innings to beat Cleveland in his previous outing, Gausman (2-8) allowed six hits and matched a season-worst by giving up six runs. He lasted three innings, matching his shortest start of the season.This is obviously a big series for us, Gausman said. For me to go out there and just not even be competitive was bad.WELCOMEBaltimore signed former Reds RHP Logan Ondrusek and designated RHP Chaz Roe for assignment.
