Blue Jays place Guerrero Jr. on injured list
Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays placed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day injured list Saturday with a concussion after he was injured Friday.
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the injured list with a concussion. The incident occurred during Friday's game against the New York Yankees, when Guerrero was hit in the head by George Lombard Jr. of the Yankees while sliding at third base. Guerrero finished the game scoring the tying run, but appeared to wince when crossing home plate.
Manager John Schneider reported that Guerrero experienced a headache after the game, which persisted on Saturday. The Blue Jays have replaced Guerrero at first base with Daz Cameron for Saturday's game. To accommodate the roster changes, right-hander Lazaro Estrada was designated for assignment, and outfielder Cameron was added to the 40-man roster.
Additionally, the team has recalled left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann from triple-A Buffalo and sent right-hander Chase Lee to the Bisons. Tiedemann had a record of 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA in seven games across three minor league levels. These updates were reported by The Canadian Press on August 15, 2026.
