After getting hit by a pitch in Sunday's series finale against the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will not be in the starting lineup against the Houston Astros on Monday.
Guerrero was initially slated to start at first base and bat third. However, the three-time All-Star is dealing with discomfort in his right ring and pinky fingers will not appear in the series opener after all.
With one out in the bottom of the third, reigning AL Cy Young Gerrit Cole hit Guerrero in the hand with a 97 mile-per-hour fastball. Guerrero stayed in the game after getting evaluated by the team training staff, but he was eventually sent to the bench in the bottom of the eighth.
