Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays suffer major blow as key pitcher suffers accident after being ejected vs Yankees

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. showed visible frustration during Sunday’s matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees. It was a tough afternoon for Toronto, highlighted by Kevin Gausman’s early ejection after just 2.2 innings pitched, followed by an unfortunate accident on the bench.

Gausman struggled throughout his outing, allowing six runs as the Blue Jays quickly fell behind by five in the third inning. His performance was a major factor in Toronto’s uphill battle during the regular-season contest.

After being pulled from the game, Gausman exchanged heated words with the umpire, voicing his displeasure over the decision. Moments later, a viral video captured him suffering a mishap on the bench, adding another layer of drama to a frustrating day for the Blue Jays.

While yelling at the umpire, Gausman appeared to lose his balance and fell from view, with cameras unable to track him afterward. As of now, the Blue Jays have not issued an official update regarding the incident, and it remains unclear if Gausman sustained any injury.
