Blue Jays 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exits early at Texas with left lower back tightness
On Sunday, Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited the series finale in Arlington, Texas, during the fourth inning due to left lower back tightness.
During Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers, Guerrero recorded a hit and advanced from first to third base on a teammate's single.
The first baseman maintains a.263 batting average through 141 games this season, having recorded nine homers and 56 RBIs for the team.
Kazuma Okamoto moved to first base following the exit, while Myles Straw entered left field and Josh Smith shifted to third base defensively.
The Blue Jays must manage roster depth as they conclude the series in Arlington while monitoring Guerrero's status for upcoming games.
