Toronto Blue Jays Update: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Recovery Progressing

The Toronto Blue Jays are gearing up for a crucial three-game series against the Minnesota Twins, starting on Monday, as they continue to lead the AL East division with a 5.0-game lead over the Boston Red Sox. However, the team's star player, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., is unlikely to play tonight due to his hamstring injury.

John Schneider, the Blue Jays' manager, confirmed that Guerrero Jr. has been dealing with a left hamstring injury, which he suffered in August. The good news is that the MRI revealed only inflammation, and the injury is not as severe as initially feared.

Guerrero Jr. has been making progress in his recovery. He has been hitting in the batting cages this week, and Schneider reported that he felt better after his first day of running and hitting. The team is being cautious but is eager to get the first baseman back in the lineup as quickly as possible.

Schneider suggested a potential return for Guerrero Jr. within the next few days. The exact timeline for his return, though, has not been announced. He will be evaluated to determine if he is available to play tonight, tomorrow, or over the weekend.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have been performing well on the field. They have a record of 6-4 in their last 10 games, including a 5-2 victory against the Miami Marlins. Ty France finished with two RBIs, and Daulton Varsho knocked in three RBIs in the game.

The Blue Jays will play their last two games of the three-game series against the Marlins on Saturday and Sunday before facing the Twins. The update on Guerrero Jr.'s recovery was provided by Schneider, and The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal confirmed the latest update.

Watching Guerrero Jr. hit in the cage was a refreshing sight for Schneider, and he is hopeful to pencil the young star back into the batting order soon. Fans will eagerly await the official announcement of Guerrero Jr.'s return to the baseball field.
