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.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr has been arguably the Blue Jays' most valuable player this year, but he may miss significant time after sustaining an injury in their loss in Pittsburgh on Monday.
