Vernon Wells left the Toronto Blue Jays' game against the Cleveland Indians on Friday night with an injured left wrist and tight right hamstring after making a diving catch in the sixth inning.

With a runner on first base, Cleveland's Franklin Gutierrez hit a flyball to shallow right-center. Wells raced in and caught the ball inches above the ground, then rolled over twice and remained in a kneeling position.

The center fielder got to his feet, but remained bent at the waist with his right hand holding his right thigh as head trainer George Poulis came out to attend to him. Wells walked back to the dugout.

Shannon Stewart came in to play left field, Brad Wilkerson moved from left to right and Alex Rios switched from right field to center.
