Guerrero Jr. sits again with lower back tightness vs. Orioles
The Blue Jays first baseman is out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game as lower back tightness persists.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been held out of the Blue Jays lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Orioles due to ongoing lower back tightness. This marks at least the second consecutive game he has missed with the issue. The injury raises concern about his availability for the remainder of the series and potentially beyond. Toronto will need to adjust its lineup construction without their primary power threat.
