My guess is its more like 3 weeks to a month and possibly longer. In the Jays case thats about 15-18% of their season with one day off that entire stretch, best case scenario.
Obliques (if that is indeed the issue) take a long time to heal and particularly for hitters.
Its hard to turn your torso which is kind of critical to hitting a baseball.
I did this many years ago and i can only compare it to injuring/breaking your ribs. It hurts to sneeze or cough or even breathe deeply.
Hopefully its not a serious strain but it did not look good.
