Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on track for Saturday return

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Player Stats

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) went through a full workout on Wednesday.

Guerrero is on track to return from the concussion injured list for Saturday’s showdown against the Yankees. The 27-year-old first baseman figures to play a pair of minor league rehab games on Thursday and Friday before the Blue Jays decide to bring him back. It’s an extremely encouraging sign that he’s progressed to full baseball activities just a couple days after landing on the injured list.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) has rejoined the Blue Jays on Friday and is expected to be activated from the injured list prior to Saturday’s game.

Jays’ skipper John Schneider told reporters that the 27-year-old slugger has passed all of his concussion tests and has been cleared to return after going 1-for-1 with a double and a pair of walks in a minor league rehab game at High-A Dunedin on Thursday. Fantasy managers can anticipate having him back in lineups on Saturday.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) has resumed baseball activities.

Guerrero progressed to high-intensity running during a light workout after hitting the injured list with a concussion over the weekend. The fact that he’s been cleared to start ramping up activity seems to indicate that he’ll be ready to return at some point later this week or early next week. At the bare minimum, it’s a positive update.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

Guerrero is back at first base and hitting third following a three-game absence due to hamstring tightness. He’s been battling the issue since last week. The 27-year-old former fantasy star continues to endure one of the more bizarre seasons in recent memory from an established upper-echelon power hitter, mustering just six homers in 108 games on the year.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) could be available to pinch-hit during Friday night’s contest against the Phillies.

The 27-year-old slugger did some pregame work on Friday and reported feeling much improved. The expectation is that he’ll rejoin the Blue Jays’ lineup on Saturday.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the lineup for the Blue Jays against the Phillies on Friday.

John Schneider said before yesterday’s game that Guerrero was dealing with “a little bit of tightness” in his hamstring. It appears to have lingered. Kazuma Okamoto is playing first base while Josh Smith covers for Okamoto at third.

Andy Pages is expected to miss 4-5 weeks with a fractured left hand suffered Friday, manager Dave Roberts said.

Pages had X-rays tonight after all. Roberts didn’t say how the Dodgers intend to replace Pages, but former Diamondbacks center fielder Alek Thomas seems like the obvious choice. He could come up and play against most righties, with Tommy Edman moving to center against lefties. That would free up some infield time for Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas.

Emerson Hancock worked 5 2/3 innings and allowed three runs Friday versus the Cubs.

Hancock struck out six and walked none, but he gave up two homers in the first to account for the runs. While Hancock left with a lead tonight, it didn’t hold up, keeping him 7-7. Still, the Mariners did win in 10 to improve to 12-12 in his starts. He’ll try to get back over .500 next week against the Blue Jays.

Andrés Muñoz took a blown save after allowing a solo homer in the ninth Friday against the Cubs.

Alex Bregman took him deep. This makes eight blown saves for Muñoz, but his closing gig remains safe. He’s allowed runs in only four of his last 23 appearances, and after prevailing in the bottom of the 10th tonight, the Mariners have picked up wins in two of his three blown saves during the span.

Matthew Boyd yielded five runs — four earned — in six innings Friday against the Mariners.

After getting three runs to work with in the first, Boyd surrendered four runs in the second, with Cal Raleigh’s three-run homer serving as the big blow. His ERA has jumped from 3.50 to 4.15 while he’s given up 11 runs in his last two starts. Still, his stuff is fine, and he remains a solid choice in mixed leagues. He’s due to face the Diamondbacks next week.

In his return from the IL, Daniel Palencia fanned two in a perfect seventh inning Friday against the Mariners.

Back from a flexor strain, Palencia averaged 98.9 mph with his six fastballs, leaving him just a tad shy of his 99.4-mph average for the season. It was a nice first outing back, but with Jacob Webb excelling, he’ll probably have to wait a bit for chances to close.

Alex Bregman went 3-for-5 with a pair of homers Friday against the Mariners.

Bregman had a two-run homer in the first and a game-tying solo shot off Andrés Muñoz in the ninth, but it wasn’t quite enough for the Cubs tonight. He now has 18 homers for the season. 11 of those have come in his last 34 games.

Andy Pages will have X-rays Saturday after getting hit on a hand by a pitch Friday against the Pirates.

Pages said the pitch hit him on the outside of his left hand, just below his pinkie finger. If he needs to miss some time, the Dodgers could call up Alek Thomas to share time with Tommy Edman in center. Top prospect Josue DePaula is strictly a corner outfielder and probably wouldn’t be viewed as a potential option here.

Ezequiel Duran had four hits, including the one that helped end the game in the 10th, as the Rangers edged the Angels 2-1 on Friday.

Technically, it was a throwing error that ended the game, allowing Wyatt Langford to score from second on Duran’s infield single off Ben Joyce. Duran ended the night with no RBI or runs scored, but as has often been the case this season, he was the Rangers’ best position player. He’s batting .271/.327/.441 in 460 plate appearances.

Gore allowed just two hits and one walk before departing a scoreless game. He’s allowed a total of four runs in 23 innings this month, lowering his ERA to 4.26. He’s currently slated to face the White Sox next Wednesday, though he could get bumped to Friday against the Brewers.

MacKenzie Gore matched him, so Detmers remained 4-8 with a 3.62 ERA through 26 starts. We’re sure he’s looking forward to the Angels holding that win-loss record against him in arbitration. He’ll face the Phillies next week.
