TORONTO (AP) ā€” Plate umpire Jordan Baker left Saturdayā€™s Boston Red Sox-Toronto Blue Jays game after eight innings because of the impact of being struck by multiple foul tips and entered Major League Baseball's concussion protocol.

The 41-year-old Baker, a member of MLB's staff since 2014, will miss Sunday's series finale at a minimum, according to the commissioner's office.

Baker needed attention from Torontoā€™s athletic trainer after he was hit on the left shoulder during Justin Turnerā€™s at-bat in the fourth. Baker left the field between the top and bottom of the inning to receive further treatment.

ā€œYou hate seeing an umpire get hurt like that,ā€ Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. ā€œJordan took a beating today.ā€

The game was delayed after eight innings while second base umpire Brennan Miller changed into his gear to work the plate. The game continued with three umpires.

A Blue Jays spokesperson said Bakerā€™s status for Sundayā€™s series finale was unknown.
