Vladimir Guerrero Junior is on the verge of returning to the Blue Jays lineup, passing his final concussion protocol tests and expected back on the field Saturday. Toronto has been waiting on their franchise cornerstone, and the timing couldn't be more critical with the playoff race tightening by the day.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
