The Blue Jays revealed Guerrero's final status ahead of Friday's bout with the Boston Red Sox, via their social media. The slugger will sit out, and backup Ernie Clement will replace him at first base. Manager John Schneider mentioned that Guerrero's X-rays were negative earlier in the day, via MLB Network radio.

The Boston Red Sox are stumbling into a three-game series vs. the rival Toronto Blue Jays that begins on Friday. First pitch in the opening game at Fenway Park is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Boston is looking to avoid a sixth consecutive loss, and it was swept by the Angels in three games in the most recent series.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Jose Ramirez both had to leave June 26's game after being hit by pitches. The Guardians weren't happy about it.
