Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the Seven-day Injured List Saturday With a Concussion, a Day After He Was Hurt in a Collision at Third Base

Guerrero, a six-time All-Star, left Friday's 3-1 win over the New York Yankees after taking a knee to the head in the sixth inning. Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr. tried to leap over a sliding Guerrero at third base when his knee and thigh struck Guerrero's head, sending his helmet flying. Guerrero got up and ran home to score the tying run but winced as he crossed the plate.

Manager John Schneider said after the game that Guerrero had "a little bit of a headache" and that he still had one Saturday. Guerrero was batting.263 with seven home runs and 46 RBIs this season. Outfielder Daz Cameron replaced him on the roster for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

To make room on the 40-man roster, right-hander Lazaro Estrada was designated for assignment. In other moves, left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann was recalled from triple-A Buffalo, and right-hander Chase Lee was sent to the Bisons. Tiedemann went 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA in seven games (two starts) across three minor league levels this season.

This report by The Canadian Press was first. Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays placed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day injured list Saturday with a concussion after he was injured Friday.
