After the sport, Guerrero Jr. maintained that the well being of his knee and the success of the Blue Jays are his priorities.

I want to make sure that everything is perfect with my knee. We’ll see how it feels [Thursday] and then we’ll see what happens.”

“I don’t know. We’ll see,” supervisor John Schneider stated after Wednesday’s sport. “We’ll see how he is tonight and see how he is [Thursday] and go from there. But I’m happy that he looked good today — for him and for us.”
