The Toronto Blue Jays have placed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day concussion injured list after he exited Friday's game against the New York Yankees due to a collision with George Lombard Jr. Guerrero underwent concussion testing, which prompted the team to make the decision. To fill his roster spot, Toronto added outfielder Daz Cameron and designated right-hander Lazaro Estrada for assignment. Guerrero's recent performance has been a concern, hitting just.230 over his last 84 games, and the Blue Jays are in a tight playoff race, sitting one game out of a Wild Card spot.
