  "account": "The Toronto Blue Jays secured a 3-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night, but the win came with a precautionary measure. In the sixth inning, a wild play resulted in slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. suffering a knee to the head. Manager John Schneider stated that Guerrero had a mild headache and was taken out of the game as a precaution. The Blue Jays scored twice in the frame, ultimately winning the game. Guerrero will undergo full concussion testing, and if he wakes up tomorrow, he may return to the lineup.",
