John Schneider explains why Vladimir Guerrero Jr is out of lineup again
The Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider was on Sportsnet 590 the Fan this afternoon and spoke of why Vladimir Guerrero Jr is out of the lineup against the Miami Marlins.
Earlier this week, Guerrero left the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with hamstring inflammation and despite it not seeming to be a serious injury, he is still out.

Schneider stated on Sportsnet that the team decided to not to play him once again since they are trying to be careful but are still hopeful that he could be available tonight or this weekend.
"We're trying to be careful but we want to get him in as quick as we can... It's not IL worthy, he's been better every single day. Hopefully he's available tonight or over the weekend..."

Hopefully Schneider is right and this injury is nothing too serious because as the playoffs approach rapidly, the Blue Jays offense will certainly need Guerrero's bat if they plan on going deep this year.
