Overview

• The team said Guerrero exited with tightness in his left hamstring during Monday’s 5-2 loss in Pittsburgh.
• The discomfort followed two splits at first base, including a third-inning stretch to snag Bo Bichette’s throw on Jared Triolo.
• He returned to play the field in the fourth inning but was lifted for his fifth-inning at-bat, with Ty France taking over at first base.
• Manager John Schneider called the move partially precautionary, said an MRI was scheduled Monday night, and expressed hope Guerrero could return within a day or two.
• Toronto remains atop the AL East by roughly five games, with reporting pointing to France—and possibly utilityman Ernie Clement—as short-term cover if an injured-list stint is required.
