The Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-1 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, on Saturday.
Before Saturday’s game, the Blue Jays placed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the 7-day concussion injured list. Guerrero left Friday’s win over the Yankees after being kneed in the head by New York shortstop George Lombard Jr. in a baserunning collision near third base.
After Saturday’s game, Blue Jays manager John Schneider opened up about Guerrero’s injury.

“[Guerrero] was going through the testing, he felt a little bit, I don’t want to say worse, but felt a bit worse than he did (Friday), which is to be expected … Hopefully it’s a minimal stay,” Schneider said to reporters, including Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi.
Toronto selected the contract of outfielder Daz Cameron as a corresponding move to Guerrero being placed on the IL. The Blue Jays designated right-hander Lazaro Estrada to clear a 40-man roster spot.
