Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Progressing Through Concussion Protocol After Collision

Overview

• Guerrero was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list after a baserunning collision at third base that led to concussion testing.
• Team and reporters say he has completed light activation drills and higher-intensity running at Tropicana Field, signs he is moving through MLB’s staged return-to-play steps.
• The club will monitor symptoms and follow MLB protocol before clearing him to play, which requires stepwise on-field activity and symptom checks.
• Guerrero has struggled all season with seven home runs and a .693 OPS, and he has not hit a regular-season home run at Rogers Centre in more than a year.
• Toronto remains in the wild-card chase and can cover a short absence because of Guerrero’s down year, but the team needs him healthy and productive for a late-season push.
