Vladimir Guerrero Jr. returns as designated hitter after five games off with hamstring inflammation; Blue Jays maintain cautious approach with their star player.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is expected to rejoin the Toronto Blue Jays as the designated hitter when they face the Minnesota Twins at Rogers Centre on Monday.
- Guerrero missed the previous five games due to hamstring inflammation suffered last Monday in a game versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- The team tested Guerrero with sprints and batting cage swings before gradually reintroducing him, including a pinch-hit appearance Sunday against the Miami Marlins.
- He is batting just under.300 with 21 homers and 69 runs batted in across 125 games this year, and manager John Schneider expressed confidence that he will continue to be included in the lineup moving forward.
- The cautious return aims to maintain Guerrero's health for the remainder of the season as the Blue Jays hold a five-game lead atop the AL East.
