The Toronto Blue Jays have been without Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but it looks like the All-Star's injury is not as bad as the team feared.

An MRI performed on Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s tight left hamstring showed no damage, though he was not in the lineup on Tuesday night for the Blue Jays’ game in Pittsburgh.

He has seen his production at the plate stay stagnant or drop in five consecutive campaigns. His OPS+ in his final year with the Houston Astros before hitting free agency was 141. That exact number was recorded in his first year with the Blue Jays, but it has steadily dropped since that point.

Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Monday night's game in Pittsburgh with an injury, but the team is now receiving a positive update on him.

The Blue Jays did have a bad offseason. Anthony Santander hasn't played since May 22 because of a shoulder injury and he hit .179/.273/.304 in the 50 games he did play. Andrés Giménez has again played superlative defense at second base,

Even at the age of 37, Pirates player Tommy Pham is a late entry on the all-time Toronto Blue Jays villain list.

Toronto entered the game with a five-game lead over the Boston Red Sox in the AL East standings, while the Yankees sat 5.5 games back. The Blue Jays are pushing for their first division title in a decade, and losing Guerrero for any length of time would make that climb much harder.
