Ahead of the Blue Jays’ first game in their final series against Cincinnati, CJ Van Eyk was optioned to Buffalo and John Klein recalled. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. apologized for recent comments, saying his fans and teammates deserved an apology.
Guerrero said he regretted the comments and that they were not what he wanted to say. He said his father told him he had made a mistake and needed to apologize.
Cincinnati listed Nick Lodolo and Toronto Jose Soriano as starting pitchers. George Springer was Toronto’s designated hitter; the post said he would likely play the outfield Sunday so he could be taken out for a fan ovation. Joey Votto praised Guerrero’s apology, saying he heard a frustrated competitor in the earlier comments.
