The Toronto Blue Jays placed Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a six-time All-Star, on the seven-day Injured List (IL) on Saturday due to concussion symptoms and brought up outfielder Daz Cameron from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the roster spot. Right-hander Lazaro Estrada was designated for assignment to make space on the 40-man roster.
Additionally, on Saturday, Toronto called up left-hander Ricky Tiedemann from Buffalo and sent right-hander Chase Lee to Triple-A.
Guerrero exited Friday’s 3-1 win against the Yankees after colliding with New York’s rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. during a play at third base in the sixth inning. Lombard attempted to jump over Guerrero as he slid into third base, making contact with Guerrero’s head with his knee and thigh, causing Guerrero’s 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 experienced a headache, a symptom that persisted into Saturday. Guerrero has a batting average of .263 with seven home runs and 46 RBIs this season.
Tiedemann posted a 0-1 record with a 6.43 ERA in seven games, including two starts, across three minor league levels in the current season.
