Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited Tuesday night's 8-6 loss to the Washington Nationals with right hamstring tightness. He was replaced in the bottom of the fourth inning by Kazuma Okamoto. The six‑time All‑Star grounded into a double play and reached on an infield single in his two at‑bats.

Guerrero is hitting .265 with six homers and 44 RBIs this season. The 27‑year‑old slugger has played at least 156 games in each of the past five seasons, and he has appeared in 103 of Toronto's 108 games this year. The injury raises questions about his availability for upcoming matchups.

The Blue Jays will need to adjust their lineup as they continue their pursuit of a playoff spot.
