Toronto Blue Jays will play their final game of the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates without star player Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is sidelined due to hamstring inflammation. This marks his second consecutive absence from the lineup, with Ty France taking his place at first base and batting sixth.
Manager John Schneider confirmed that Guerrero, although improving, will likely sit out Wednesday’s game to allow for further recovery time. The Blue Jays are prioritizing his health with an upcoming off-day before facing the Miami Marlins on Friday.
Guerrero sustained the injury during a remarkable defensive play on Monday but returned to the field to make additional contributions. Despite his absence, the Blue Jays are maintaining their strong form this season, with Guerrero boasting impressive stats.
