Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (head) out of lineup

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Player Stats

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (head) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against the Yankees.

Guerrero Jr. is currently gong through the concussion protocol, and it’s worth noting that Daz Cameron reportedly has a locker. For now, the 27-year-old is just out of Saturday’s lineup, but fantasy managers should be prepared for a potential stint on the seven-day IL. In the meantime, Charles McAdoo will hit ninth and handle first base duties.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Blue Jays placed 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day concussion injured list.

Tests prior to Saturday’s game must not have gone very well. Guerrero was hurt on a play at third base Friday night against the Yankees. Rather than give Sean Keys another look, the Jays summoned Daz Cameron to replace Guerrero. Charles McAdoo is playing first base today, and Kazuma Okamoto will probably slide over there on occasion.
Daz Cameron

TOR Right Fielder #20

Blue Jays selected the contract of OF Daz Cameron from Triple-A Buffalo.

Cameron, who opened this season in Korea, had hit .367/.462/.582 with three homers in 23 games since joining Triple-A Buffalo last month. He should get starts against left-handers while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is absent.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider told reporters after Friday’s victory that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is going through the concussion protocol.

Guerrero was involved in an awkward collision with George Lombard Jr. at third base during the sixth inning on Friday and came away with a bit of a headache, so the team opted to err on the side of caution. Whether or not he’ll be available for the rest of the weekend will depend on how quickly he can pass through the protocol.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Yankees after being involved in an awkward collision at third base.

Guerrero collided with the third baseman as the throw was coming across the diamond in the sixth inning. The throw got away and Guerrero was able to score, but he appeared to injure himself during the collision. The Jays should have an update on his status shortly.
Kazuma Okamoto

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox with a left knee contusion.

Okamoto winds up being scratched for the second straight game due to a knee issue. It’s fair to wonder if he’ll require a trip to the injured list or the Blue Jays are merely being cautious. It’ll be rookie Charles McAdoo, who homered in his return to the big leagues on Monday night, taking over at third base once again.
Charles McAdoo

TOR 3rd Baseman

McAdoo is leading off and playing left field on Tuesday against the Red Sox

McAdoo has just six games in the outfield in the minors this season, but the Blue Jays are clearly going to give him every chance to keep his bat in the lineup while he’s on a hot streak. Including his minor league games, McAdoo has homered in his last five games and has a .467 average with 14 RBI over his last seven games (six of which were in Triple-A).
Charles McAdoo

TOR 3rd Baseman

Charles McAdoo blasted a solo homer on Monday, leading the Blue Jays to a 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

McAdoo wasn’t even in Toronto’s initial lineup until Kazuma Okamoto was scratched with a knee contusion. He broke a scoreless stalemate with a fifth-inning solo shot into the right-field stands. It was his first round-tripper since homering in his big-league debut back on May 29.
Kazuma Okamoto

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s game against the Red Sox with a left knee contusion.

Okamoto gets an opportunity to rest and recover with rookie Charles McAdoo taking over at the hot corner. The 30-year-old has really struggled at the plate since the All-Star break, which has pulled down his overall numbers, but he still has 24 homers in 116 games during his stateside debut. He’s been one of the few bright spots for the Blue Jays during a bizarre season. He’s day-to-day heading into the final three games of the series.
Charles McAdoo

TOR 3rd Baseman

Blue Jays recalled INF Charles McAdoo from Triple-A Buffalo.

McAdoo receives another chance in a reserve role with the Blue Jays after hitting .160 (4-for-25) with one homer and three RBI during an eight-game stint at the highest level earlier this season. He’s an interesting talent, and his defensive versatility makes him an ideal fit in a multi-positional bench role.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a walk against the Phillies on Saturday.

Guerrero returned to the lineup and put the Blue Jays on the board right away, taking Aaron Nola deep for a solo homer in the first inning. It was his first home run since July 11 and just his seventh of the season. The 27-year-old first baseman is hitting .262/.341/.358 with 58 runs scored, 46 RBI, and seven steals across 461 plate appearances.

Matt Chapman said he’ll be rehabbing for 8-10 weeks following Tuesday’s season-ending core muscle surgery.

Chapman said he originally tore muscle off the bone in two places back in April and played through it for months before going on the IL at the beginning of July. He hit .235/.324/.368 in 84 games before being shut down.

Aaron Judge started throwing Friday for the first time since going on the IL with a rib fracture.

It’s a start. Judge, who last took the field May 31 against the A’s, has yet to resume swinging a bat, so it’s safe to rule out an August return here.

Drew Gilbert, who hadn’t previously batted higher than sixth this season, is in the leadoff spot for Saturday’s game against the Rockies.

Gilbert has done fine work against righties, hitting .265/.357/.409 in 250 plate appearances, so he probably makes as much sense as anyone else on the Giants roster as the leadoff man against them. Jung Hoo Lee, who had been filling that spot recently, is batting cleanup today.

Blue Jays designated RHP Lazaro Estrada for assignment.

Estrada loses his 40-man roster spot one day after being sent down by the Blue Jays. He’s posted a 5.54 ERA over 13 innings in eight relief appearances for Toronto this year. The 27-year-old wouldn’t seem to have a high ceiling out of the pen, but given that he makes the minimum, can eat innings and has options, there’s a good chance someone will pick him up off waivers.
