Overview
- Guerrero left the Blue Jays’ game after running out an infield single and showing visible discomfort while turning toward second, with the move occurring Tuesday night in Washington.
- The team listed his issue as right hamstring tightness and manager John Schneider said Guerrero wanted to stay in but was removed as a precaution.
- Kazuma Okamoto replaced Guerrero at first base and hit a homer in the fifth inning, providing an immediate on-field response to the late-game lineup change.
- Guerrero has played in the vast majority of Toronto’s games this season but has struggled at the plate with six home runs and roughly a .700 OPS, making his availability especially consequential.
- The Blue Jays have given no formal recovery timeline and further medical updates will determine short-term roster moves and whether this influences the club’s decisions before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
