Overview

  • Guerrero exited Monday’s game in the fifth inning after feeling tightness in his left hamstring on a splits play to snag Bo Bichette’s throw.
  • An MRI showed no structural damage, with manager John Schneider saying the results reassured the team to be cautious.
  • He sat Tuesday in Pittsburgh and will also miss Wednesday’s series finale, with a scheduled off-day Thursday before Toronto heads to Miami.
  • Ty France is starting at first base in his place, with internal options available to cover any short absence.
  • Guerrero is batting .298 with 21 home runs and 69 RBIs for the 73-53 AL East leaders, heightening the impact of even brief downtime.
