BALTIMORE — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was out of the lineup Monday night as the Blue Jays opened their series against the Orioles, clinging to their fading postseason chances. Guerrero was removed from Sunday’s finale against the Rangers with left lower back tightness, something that flared up when he stretched to make a play at first base a couple of days prior. It hadn’t improved much by the time the Blue Jays got to Baltimore. Carlos Delgado Short-Sleeved Retro Windbreaker Giveaway is Sept. 25!...
We heard a shocking rumor earlier this month that Boston Red Sox ace Sonny Gray might actually retire after this, the best season of his career. But before the 36-year-old makes that call, he should consider this: If Sonny Gray doesn’t retire, some in the industry expect him to match or exceed the 3-year, $75 million deal the Rangers gave to Nathan Eovaldi after the 2024 season, per @ChrisCotillo . pic.twitter.com/alwihXe4Xa — Tyler Milliken (@tylermilliken_) September 17, 2026 Red Sox insider...

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the Blue Jays’ three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles after exiting their game on Sunday with lower back tightness. Guerrero was 1-for-2 with a single before being removed in the fourth inning against the Texas Rangers. Rookie Sean Keys will play first and bat fifth in Guerrero’s absence against the Orioles. Keys has two home runs and a .644 OPS over...
