The Toronto Blue Jays have placed six-time All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day injured list due to concussion symptoms and have called up outfielder Daz Cameron from Triple-A Buffalo. Right-hander Lazaro Estrada has been designated for assignment to make space on the 40-man roster.
Additionally, left-hander Ricky Tiedemann has been recalled from Buffalo, while right-hander Chase Lee has been optioned to Triple-A. Guerrero exited Friday’s 3-1 win against the Yankees after a collision with New York rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. at third base during the sixth inning. Lombard attempted to jump over Guerrero but ended up striking Guerrero’s head with his knee and thigh, causing Guerrero’s helmet to come off. Despite the impact, Guerrero managed to score the tying run before being replaced by Charles McAdoo at first base in the seventh inning.
Following the game, manager John Schneider noted that Guerrero experienced a headache, which persisted into Saturday. Guerrero currently holds a .263 batting average with seven home runs and 46 RBIs. Tiedemann, who had a record of 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA in seven games (including two starts) across three minor league levels this season, has been called up as well.
