Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Dylan Cease Leave With Injuries
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- During Sunday’s game against the Pirates, Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease left in the fifth inning due to left hamstring discomfort, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was replaced after being hit in the right elbow, diagnosed with a contusion but no fracture.
- The Blue Jays are currently dealing with a significant number of injuries, including key players on the injured list such as Alejandro Kirk, Nathan Lukes, Addison Barger, and season-ending absences for Anthony Santander, Jose Berrios, Bowden Francis, and Cody Ponce.
- Cease has a strong track record of durability, never having been on the 15-day injured list since his MLB debut in 2019, and Guerrero has also maintained a clean injury history over his eight-year career.
- Although the potential absence of either Cease or Guerrero would pose challenges for Toronto, neither injury from Sunday’s game appears to be serious at this time.
