OAKLAND -- Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill was forced to leave Toronto's 12-0 win over Oakland in the seventh inning after colliding with shortstop David Eckstein on a play in shallow center field.

Hill, whose head met up with an Eckstein elbow during the mishap, was diagnosed with a mild concussion. Even so, Hill indicated that he was feeling fine after the game and didn't believe he'd need to miss any time.

"No, no. There's no need for a day off," Hill said. "I'll just be a little sore. I think they had to call it a mild concussion just for medical terms. It was just a good cold clock. It's all good."

Toronto manager John Gibbons said he might consider resting Hill as a precaution on Friday, when the Blue Jays open a three-game set against the Angels in Anaheim. Gibbons didn't rule out the possibility that Hill could be right back in the Jays lineup, though.

"He banged his head," Gibbons said. "He's day-to-day. There's a chance he could be in there [on Friday]."

With one out, A's catcher Rob Bowen lofted a 1-2 offering from Jays pitcher Jesse Litsch toward center field. Sprinting up the middle, Hill caught the ball, but slammed into Eckstein and was hit on the head by one of the shortstop's arms on the play.

The ball popped out of Hill's glove as the second baseman fell to the ground, where he lay for several minutes. Gibbons and Toronto's team trainers ran onto the field, and Hill's teammates all gathered around to check on the dazed infielder.

After a few minutes passed, Hill stood up and headed to the visitors' clubhouse under his own power, and Toronto utility man Joe Inglett took over for at second base. Hill, who entered Thursday's game hitting .083 in his past seven contests, was 2-for-3 with two singles, two walks and two RBIs in the win over the A's.
