The Blue Jays, scraping and clawing to extend their season beyond 162 games, aren’t hitting any panic buttons just yet. That goes for the health of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who left Sunday’s 7-2 victory over Texas in the fourth inning with lower back tightness. “It was kind of tight before the game,” said Blue Jays manager John Schneider, who added that the tightness stemmed from a stretch at first base a couple of days ago. “We just wanted to be careful, and hopefully he's good for tomorrow.” Time will tell.  That’s the case with Dylan Cease, too. It was revealed earlier in the day that the right-hander had been sent back to Toronto for an MRI on his pitching shoulder on Saturday. Cease has been scratched from his next scheduled start on Wednesday, though hope remains that the Blue Jays ace could be available for the team’s final regular-season series against the Reds next weekend.  While there was no news to report on any of those test results postgame, there’s no panicking in baseball. Toronto (77-79) did what it needed to do on Sunday, leaving Texas with a much-needed victory that kept their [American League Wild Card hopes
