Blue Jays surging up Wild Card standings -- but holding breath over Vladdy

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 3-1 on Friday night, improving their record to 60-64 and pulling to within one game of the final American League Wild Card spot with 38 games remaining. However, the win was overshadowed by concern over first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who left the game after a collision with George Lombard Jr. at third base while scoring the team's first run in the sixth inning. Guerrero, who is considered the Blue Jays' most important offensive player despite a .693 OPS this season, is now being monitored for injury.
