Pillar has a grade one strain on his oblique and will be shut down for a week, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports. Pillar, who is competing for the starting center field job, hit .267 with two homers and seven RBI in 116 at-bats for Toronto last season. This is a minor setback, but the team still expects him to be ready in time for Opening Day.
