Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees in the eighth inning.
Guerrero Jr. appeared to be in some discomfort about catching a bunt by Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres and did not return to the field in the ninth as he was replaced by Brandon Belt.
Hm. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is out of this game now. Brandon Belt stayed at first base after he pinch hit. It looked like Vladdy did something when he caught that bunt by Torres last inning #BlueJays
