The New York Yankees faced a challenging situation on Monday night as outfielder Trent Grisham exited the game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to left hamstring tightness. This injury follows the recent addition of Fernando Cruz to the injured list and uncertainties regarding Austin Wells, who underwent testing for finger issues. Grisham, who has transitioned from being a fourth outfielder to a key player in the lineup, was having a solid season with a .244 batting average and 15 home runs in 71 games. The Yankees find themselves in a precarious position, trying to maintain their division lead while grappling with injuries that threaten to disrupt their momentum.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. showcased his hitting prowess, driving in three runs to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a dramatic 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees. Max Scherzer turned in an efficient performance, allowing just two earned runs in five innings and recording seven strikeouts. The win pushed the Blue Jays closer to the Yankees in the AL East standings, just two games back.

The game featured an exciting comeback by the Jays, who overcame a 3-1 deficit, scoring four runs in the sixth inning. Guerrero Jr. contributed significantly with two hits, including a pivotal two-RBI single that helped turn the tide. The Yankees, despite a two-run homer from Jazz Chisholm Jr. and a late solo shot from Cody Bellinger, couldn't clinch the comeback.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues his impressive season, driving in three runs as the Toronto Blue Jays edged the New York Yankees 5-4. The game saw Max Scherzer dominate on the mound, allowing just two runs over five innings while striking out seven. The win improves the Blue Jays' record to 46-38, narrowing the gap to two games behind the Yankees in the AL East. The Yankees initially led 3-1, thanks to Jazz Chisolm Jr.'s two-run homer, but the Blue Jays rallied back with a four-run sixth inning. Despite Cody Bellinger's late-game solo shot, the Yankees couldn't complete the comeback.

Toronto's offense has been on fire, ranking in the top ten for batting average and OPS since May 8. However, the team will have to monitor George Springer's health after he left the game in the sixth inning due to an awkward slide. With Kevin Gausman set to pitch next, the Jays are looking to maintain their momentum against a formidable Yankees lineup.

Luis Gil, the New York Yankees' promising right-hander and reigning American League Rookie of the Year, is on the verge of a comeback after a lengthy injury recovery. Set to throw live batting practice soon, Gil's return could significantly bolster a Yankees rotation that has performed admirably despite his absence. With a remarkable 2.03 ERA last season, his return is anticipated as a potential game-changer for the team as they eye the trade deadline.

The Toronto Blue Jays face a pivotal three-game series against the New York Yankees, the American League East leaders, starting Monday. Toronto trails New York by just three games but has struggled recently with a 5-5 record in their last 10 games.

Adding to their challenges, the Blue Jays will be without star shortstop Bo Bichette due to right knee discomfort. Bichette has been a key contributor with an .819 OPS over his last 12 games. He will be replaced by Addison Barger at third base, with Ernie Clement stepping in at shortstop and leadoff. The Blue Jays' reliance on Bichette's table-setting ability raises concerns as they take on the formidable pitching of the Yankees, including lefty Carlos Rodón against veteran Max Scherzer.
