In a shocking turn of events that has sent ripples throughout the baseball world, Toronto Blue Jays’ star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been suspended indefinitely from Major League Baseball after testing positive for a banned substance, league sources confirmed Thursday afternoon.
According to insider reports, the test—administered earlier this month as part of the league’s routine anti-doping policy—returned a positive result for a performance-enhancing substance that is currently prohibited under MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The MLB has yet to disclose the exact substance, but Guerrero Jr., 26, has already been removed from the Blue Jays’ active roster pending a full investigation.
Team Reacts Swiftly
Blue Jays General Manager Ross Atkins released a brief statement minutes after the league announcement:
“We are aware of the situation involving Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and are cooperating fully with Major League Baseball’s investigation. While we are disappointed, we respect the process and will await the outcome before making any further decisions.”
Guerrero Jr. has not yet made a public statement, but his representatives are reportedly preparing a response, expected later today.
Fallout for the Blue Jays
This suspension comes at a critical time for the Blue Jays, who are battling for a playoff spot in a tight AL East race. Guerrero Jr. has been a cornerstone of the team’s offense, boasting a .302 batting average with 27 home runs and 89 RBIs this season.
Fans have expressed both shock and frustration on social media, with many calling for transparency while others remain hopeful that the test may have been a false positive or misunderstanding.
