The Toronto Blue Jays have placed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day injured list with a concussion. According to Global News, Guerrero Jr. was hit in the head with a knee during a game against the New York Yankees on Friday and had been experiencing headaches since.

Guerrero Jr. was replaced on the roster by outfielder Daz Cameron for Saturday's game against the Yankees. To make room on the 40-man roster, right-hander Lazaro Estrada was designated for assignment. The Blue Jays also recalled left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann from triple-A Buffalo and sent right-hander Chase Lee to the Bisons.

The Blue Jays' Big 3, consisting of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, and Ernie Clement, are considered indispensable members of the team, as noted by the Toronto Sun. However, with Guerrero Jr. out, the team will have to find a way to continue their momentum in the AL wild card spot without their star first baseman.
