The Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-1 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, on Saturday.

After Saturday’s game, Blue Jays manager John Schneider opened up about Guerrero’s injury.

“[Guerrero] was going through the testing, he felt a little bit, I don’t want to say worse, but felt a bit worse than he did (Friday), which is to be expected … Hopefully it’s a minimal stay,” Schneider said to reporters, including Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi.
Toronto selected the contract of outfielder Daz Cameron as a corresponding move to Guerrero being placed on the IL. The Blue Jays designated right-hander Lazaro Estrada to clear a 40-man roster spot.

He recently missed time with a hamstring issue and backed out of the All-Star Game after being voted in as the American League’s starting first baseman due to a back problem.
Toronto signed Guerrero to a 14-year, $500 million extension in spring 2025.
In his eight-season MLB career, Guerrero has a slash line of .286/.363/.481 with 190 home runs and 637 RBI.
