## Resource

The Blue Jays fell short in a gritty, heartbreaking loss to the Yankees, 8-3, as injuries and bullpen fatigue combined to derail their momentum. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. missed his second straight game with a back issue, while shortstop Andrés Giménez was scratched at the last minute with a wrist problem, forcing the team to lean on role players who delivered key hits — including a solo homer from Davis Schneider. But the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead, crumbling in the 8th when manager John Schneider was ejected for arguing a balk, then in the 9th when reliever Braydon Fisher surrendered a go-ahead two-run homer to Ben Rice. The starter only lasted 3⅔ innings, highlighting the strain on a depleted rotation. Despite the loss, there’s cautious optimism: Guerrero Jr. was available to pinch-hit, suggesting his injury may not be severe, and the team hopes an upcoming off-day will help both he and Giménez recover. Manager Schneider admitted overworked relievers struggle to execute — a flaw the Yankees exploited with their power. While this was a missed chance against a division rival, the Jays aren’t panicking. They’re focused on turning their fight into consistent finishes.
