Here’s what people were saying about Guerrero Jr. being out of the lineup:
Daniele Franceschi: “Curious to see Vladimir Guerrero Jr. out of the lineup today. #BlueJays just had an off day on Thursday and they have another coming up on Monday. Odd spot to give Vlad a blow. Interested to see John Schneider’s explanation.”
@r_patota04: “I understand Vlad needs an off day but we’re playing the freaking Yankees a team he does a ton of damage against unless there’s an injury that’s unknown why isn’t he playing?!”
