Overview
- The Blue Jays announced a starting lineup Sunday that left Vladimir Guerrero Jr. out of the lineup for the game at Rogers Centre.
- Andrés Giménez was also absent Sunday with a reported wrist issue and the team has not given a timetable for his return.
- Local coverage reported Guerrero received a day off for a tight back but that explanation comes from beat reporting and the club has not issued detailed medical updates.
- Bluebird Banter said Shane Bieber and Yimi García are expected to need one more rehab outing before rejoining the club and Addison Barger should begin rehab games next week, though those timelines are preliminary and source-limited.
- Those absences and the tentative rehab schedule have forced daily lineup changes and could affect Toronto’s short-term performance, so fans should watch for official activation dates from the team.
