Toronto Blue Jays star player, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., has been cleared to return to action after being on the seven-day injured list. Guerrero will be back on the field for the upcoming game against the New York Yankees.
The talented athlete sustained an injury during a game against the Yankees last week due to a collision with New York’s rookie shortstop, George Lombard Jr., in a peculiar play at third base during the sixth inning. Despite the incident causing Guerrero’s helmet to come off, he managed to score before leaving the game.
After successfully passing his concussion tests, Guerrero rejoined the team on Friday. He also participated in a minor league rehabilitation game for single-A Dunedin, where he showcased his skills by hitting a double. Following his return, Guerrero was placed second in the batting order for the game against the Yankees.
To accommodate Guerrero’s return, the Blue Jays made a roster change by sending Davis Schneider to triple-A Buffalo. Guerrero, who has been a key player for the team with a batting average of .263, seven home runs, and 46 RBIs, was in good form before the injury, hitting .310 in his last seven games.
