Jays OF Pillar wears shirt inviting questions about his sneeze injury
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar apparently subscribes to the adage that laughter is the best medicine.
On Monday we learned that the 26-year-old found himself in the trainer's room after straining an oblique while sneezing on Saturday. After two days of answering questions about it, Pillar is taking a proactive stance on the goofy injury:

Pillar certainly has company. Baseball players routinely suffer bizarre injuries, like former Rockies infielder Clint Barmes, who broke his collarbone when he slipped on a staircase while carrying deer meat.
''I don't think this is a big deal,'' Pillar said. ''It's something I played with (Saturday) and something I was prepared to play with today. But they're being very respectful about it and willing to give me a little bit of time.''
