Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis was removed from the team's American League Championship Series roster due to a knee injury.Travis missed the final two games of the AL Division Series against the Texas Rangers with a bone bruise in his right knee. He aggravated the injury in the fifth inning of Friday's Game 1 at the Cleveland Indians."There's enough information to suggest that the injury has changed and there is more of an injury than just the bone bruise," Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said. "I don't want to get into the specifics of it yet until we get more information as the swelling gets down, as the inflammation gets out of there. I'd rather have a much clearer picture, but there was enough information to suggest that the injury was new." Major League Baseball approved the request to remove Travis from the roster, and the Blue Jays replaced him with Justin Smoak. Darwin Barney got the start at second base in Game 2 on Saturday."We're going to move forward," Barney said. "We're going to try to do what we can to fill that big hole that Devon brings to this lineup. That guy is so diverse offensively that I don't think there's another guy on this team that can do what he does offensively, but hopefully we can go out there and play well."Travis, who went 1-for 12 in three games during the postseason, would not be eligible to be on the roster in the event that Toronto advances to the World Series. The 25-year-old is a career .301 hitter in 163 regular season games spread across two injury-marred campaigns.
