## Resource

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. pulls out of the All-Star Game to prioritize his health, despite being voted in at first base — a tough but smart move as he battles lingering back issues that’ve hurt his power and performance this season. The Blue Jays send Ernie Clement and pitchers Dylan Cease and Louis Varland in his place, making a solid showing even with a rough year. Vlad’s absence could be key to his recovery and the team’s playoff push.
