Due to a knee strain, first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will not be starting for the Baltimore Orioles in Sunday’s split-squad game, manager John Schneider informed reporters, via MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson.

Schneider stated that no tests are required because the harm is mild. Guerrero is thought to have sustained the injury when sliding for a ball in foul area during the Philadelphia Phillies game on Saturday.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s left knee contusion from yesterday’s game keeps him out of the starting lineup today.

It’s mild and no tests are required, according to Schneider.#BlueJays
