WASHINGTON (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Tuesday night’s 8-6 loss to the Washington Nationals with right hamstring tightness.
He was replaced in the bottom of the fourth inning by Kazuma Okamoto.
Guerrero, a six-time All-Star, grounded into a double play and reached on an infield single in his two at-bats. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Guerrero felt tightness when he touched first base on his single and turned toward second after an errant throw.
“He was a little sore and he wanted to stay in,” Schneider said. “It was my call just to be careful with him and not have anything worse happen. … He checked out pretty good and we’ll see how he is tomorrow. It’s a quick turnaround and, again, just trying to be smart with him. I don’t want to lose him for an extended period of time.”
Guerrero is hitting .265 with six homers and 44 RBIs this season.
The 27-year-old slugger has played at least 156 games in each of the past five seasons. He has played in 103 of Toronto’s 108 games this year.
