Guerrero Jr. Exits 3-1 Blue Jays Win After Knee to Head as Toronto Eyes Wild Card

Summary
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Toronto’s 3-1 win over the Yankees after George Lombard Jr. kneed him in the head during a chaotic sixth-inning play.
The collision came after two Yankees errors and a wild throw to third; Guerrero still scored the tying run before bending over in pain and heading to the dugout.
Manager John Schneider said Guerrero had “a little bit of a headache” and called his removal precautionary, with his status for Saturday still uncertain.
Toronto, 60-64 and chasing the AL’s third wild-card spot, can ill afford a long absence from Guerrero despite his down year — .263 with 7 homers and 46 RBI.
