Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. day-to-day with right knee inflammation

NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got good news Thursday when an MRI on his right knee showed inflammation and no structural damage.

Guerrero was held of the starting lineup for the second straight night as the Blue Jays completed a three-game series with the Yankees. He is day-to-day and could be available off the bench on Thursday night. Toronto opens a three-game series in Tampa, Florida against the playoff-bound Rays on Friday.

The slugger had been slated to bat third as the designated hitter for the Blue Jays, who are in a close playoff race. Toronto was a game ahead of Texas and Seattle for the second of three American League wild-card spots. About two hours before Wednesday game, Schneider said Guerrero’s sore right knee has been “barking” for a couple of days and he’s been “grinding” through it.
