Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on track for a massive return this Saturday. Blue Jays manager John Schneider delivered the news Friday, confirming Vladdy is ready to rejoin the lineup.
Back From the Concussion List, Feeling Good
Guerrero Jr. has been sidelined since August 14, taking a serious hit with a concussion. Dealing with head injuries is no joke, and fans have been holding their breath. But the latest update is pure relief. Schneider told reporters Friday that Guerrero Jr. officially passed his final concussion tests. The big man is “feeling good today,” which is exactly what everyone wanted to hear. No rushing it, no messing around, just a clean bill of health.
Hitting Cages Today, Lineup Tomorrow
The plan is locked in. Schneider confirmed Guerrero Jr. is expected to hit in the cages Friday. That’s the final hurdle, the last checkmark before he steps back onto the field for real. And then, it’s go time. He’s expected to be back in the lineup the very next day. Getting a star of his caliber back so quickly from a concussion shows not only his resilience but also the medical team doing their job right.
Saturday, 1:35 p.m. ET. The Blue Jays are in the Bronx, and Guerrero Jr. is stepping straight into a weekend series against the New York Yankees. You know he’s been itching to get back, and what a stage to do it on. Expect fireworks, because Vladdy is coming back with a bang.
