The Toronto Blue Jays placed Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a six-time All-Star, on the seven-day injured list on Saturday due to symptoms of a concussion. In a corresponding move, outfielder Daz Cameron was called up from Triple-A Buffalo. To create space on the 40-man roster, right-hander Lazaro Estrada was designated for assignment.
Additionally, the Blue Jays recalled left-hander Ricky Tiedemann from Buffalo and sent right-hander Chase Lee down to Triple-A. Guerrero exited Friday’s 3-1 win against the Yankees after colliding with New York’s rookie shortstop, George Lombard Jr., in a tumultuous play at third base during the sixth inning. Lombard attempted to jump over Guerrero, but his knee and thigh made contact with Guerrero’s head, causing his helmet to come off. Despite the collision, Guerrero managed to score the tying run before being replaced by Charles McAdoo at first base in the seventh inning.
Following the game, manager John Schneider mentioned that Guerrero had experienced a headache, which persisted into Saturday. Guerrero currently holds a .263 batting average with seven home runs and 46 RBIs. Meanwhile, Tiedemann has posted a 0-1 record with a 6.43 ERA across seven games, including two starts, spanning three minor league levels this season.
