Overview

  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was struck on the forearm by a 96 mph fastball from Tanner Bibee in the third inning and exited Thursday’s game.
  • José Ramírez left an inning later after absorbing a 95 mph pitch from Kevin Gausman to his forearm.
  • Subsequent imaging diagnosed both All-Stars with forearm contusions and confirmed no fractures.
  • Guerrero’s recent $500 million contract heightens Toronto’s concerns over losing their top slugger during the wild-card race.
  • Ramírez’s .318/.378/.516 slash line with 13 home runs, 20 steals and 16 doubles makes his availability pivotal for Cleveland’s postseason push.
