Mike Trout remains optimistic after being placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain<\/a><\/p>n”\n\n“nThe star first baseman left the game in the sixth inning after showing signs of discomfort after taking a swing against pitcher Ben Brown.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
The situation generated immediate concern, especially because Guerrero had already missed two games during the week due to the same physical issue. However, manager John Schneider assured after the game that the decision was made as a precaution and that the outlook is encouraging.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
\u201cWe just want to be careful. I just spoke with him and he feels better. It has nothing to do with how he was when he missed those two games,\u201d Schneider explained after Toronto\u2019s 16-2 loss.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
Before leaving the game, Guerrero had not been able to get a hit in three at-bats.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
The news comes just one day after the Dominican slugger showed signs of offensive recovery by hitting his first home run in more than a month, a blast that many in the organization hope marks the beginning of an upturn in his offensive production.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
Guerrero has been a fundamental piece for the Blue Jays over the last few seasons and any physical issue generates special attention within the organization, which is currently fighting to stay in the race within the competitive American League.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
At the moment, Toronto has not reported the need for additional studies, and everything points to the player’s exit being solely a preventive measure to avoid a relapse.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
The first baseman’s progress will be monitored day-to-day, although statements from the coaching staff suggest that the injury is not serious and that he could return to the lineup in the upcoming games.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
