In Saturday's lineup
Guerrero (back) will start at first base and bat third Saturday against the Cubs.
Analyse
Guerrero was forced out of Friday's game early due to a back injury, but it won't prevent him from missing a start. The 27-year-old has been trending downward since the beginning of June, slashing just .189/.241/.302 with six RBI and five runs scored across 14 games this month.

Leaves Friday's game with injury
Guerrero was removed from Friday's contest versus the Cubs in the sixth inning with an apparent back/side injury, Sportsnet reports.
Analyse
Vlad Jr. popped out on the first pitch of the top of the sixth inning and immediately grabbed at his back/left side area before jogging slowly to first base. He was removed from the game prior to the bottom of the sixth. The Blue Jays should offer more on Guerrero's condition soon. He was hitless in three plate appearances before departing.

Ends power drought Thursday
Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.
Analyse
The first baseman launched the first pitch he saw from Sonny Gray over the Green Monster in the first inning, giving the Blue Jays a quick lead in an eventual 4-3 victory. It was Guerrero's first long ball since May 17, snapping a 24-game drought, and just his fourth of the year -- a concerning total for a player who averaged 31.8 homers over the prior five seasons. There's still plenty of time left in the campaign for Guerrero to go on a tear and get his power numbers back to their usual level, and Thursday's blast might have been the first sign a summer surge is on its way.

Back in Tuesday's lineup
Guerrero (back) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Analyse
After missing the final two games of the most recent series against the Yankees with back tightness, Guerrero is back at first base and batting third in the order. The 27-year-old slugger has struggled with hitting the long ball, as he has yet to hit one over the fence since May 17. Guerrero has slashed .280/.372/.366 in 288 plate appearances on the campaign.

Expected back Tuesday
Guerrero (back) was available to pinch hit Sunday and will likely rejoin the starting lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The first baseman was getting ready to hit in the ninth inning when the game was close, but he was kept on the bench after the Yankees erupted for five runs in the top of the frame. Guerrero will benefit from Monday's off day after sitting out the last two contests with lower-back tightness. He's batting just .184 (7-for-38) to begin June, with his homer drought standing at 22 games.
