Guerrero scored on the play but didn’t come out to play defense the following inning. Charles McAdoo<\/a> replaced him at first base.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Guerrero is in concussion protocol after experiencing “a bit of a headache,” according to MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“You’ve always got to be careful. We’ll see how he wakes up tomorrow,” Schneider added.<\/p>\n

Guerrero is in the midst of a down year in which he’s slashed .263\/.337\/.356 with seven home runs and 47 RBIs in 115 games.<\/p>\n
