Toronto started Tuesday with a 73-53 record, but has dropped back-to-back games. Monday, the Blue Jays fell to Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Toronto sits five games ahead in the American League East standings of both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.

Colson Montgomery left last night's contest with left side soreness. He felt something after fouling a ball off, so the Chicago White Sox removed him for precautionary measures. Since slugging six homers in nine games to end July, the rookie is batting just .167/.250/.426 over his last 15 games.

Having made his debut in 2019, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has established himself as one of the Toronto Blue Jays' most influential players.
