Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. passes final concussion tests, expected to return Saturday
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has passed his final concussion tests and is set to return from the seven-day injured list on Saturday. The six-time All-Star played in a minor league rehab game for Single-A Dunedin on Thursday, where he doubled before returning to the team on Friday. Manager John Schneider reported that Guerrero felt good and was feeling normal, which bodes well for his return.
Guerrero was injured during a collision with New York rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. at third base, causing his helmet to dislodge. He is currently batting .263 with seven home runs and 46 RBIs. The Blue Jays also made several other roster moves, including placing infielder Josh Smith on the 10-day injured list, activating pitcher Spencer Arrighetti, recalling outfielder Davis Schneider, and optioning reliever Brendan Cellucci to Triple-A.
