March 8, 2013 - 2:20 AM ET

Brett Lawrie (rib cage) has officially withdrawn from the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

Lawrie, a native of British Columbia, was hoping to start at third base for Team Canada. But he suffered a left rib cage injury during an exhibition game on Wednesday night and will be out for the next 2-3 weeks. The Blue Jays are hopeful that he'll be ready for Opening Day.
