Guerrero Injury Hits Blue Jays Hard | Washington Nationals News

**Corey** (0:00)
On July 29th, all right, so the Toronto Blue Jays are dealing with some tough news. First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had to leave their game against the Washington Nationals yesterday. He's got some tightness in his right hamstring, which he seemed to pull while running out of ground ball. They pulled him from the game in the fourth inning, and right now, nobody's sure how serious it is. This injury just adds to what's been a rough season for the Blue Jays. After making it to the World Series last year, they've really struggled. They're currently in last place in their division, way behind the leaders, and pretty far from a wild card spot too.
It's a tough blow because Guerrero is a huge part of that team, a cornerstone player they've got locked up for a long time. He's not someone they'd ever think about trading, but if this hamstring issue keeps him out for a while, it pretty much kills any chance they had of making a comeback this season. The game itself wasn't great for Toronto either.
Their pitcher, Shane Bieber, had a really rough first inning, walking 6 batters and giving up 4 runs before he could even get out of the inning.
The Nationals ended up winning that 1-8-6.
So yeah, a lot of bad luck piling up for the Blue Jays right now. We'll have to keep an eye on Guerrero's hamstring and see if there are any updates on his condition. That wraps Washington Nationals News Today brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
