Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Retreats To The Bench
1 year agoToronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will receive a breather on Sunday as the team battles the Boston Red Sox. It looks to be just a normal day of rest for Guerrero in the series finale, as he's started every game for the team since May 19. Brandon Belt will get the nod at first base in this one and will bat in the two-hole against Red Sox left-hander Brennan Bernardino. Vlad Jr., and All-Star in each of the last three years, has been in a bit of a run since July 28, going only 5-for-32 (.156) with a homer, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in 39 trips to the plate. He's been a bit disappointing overall in 2023, too, slashing .263/.340/.443 with 18 homers, 22 doubles, 69 RBI, four steals and 54 runs scored, but he remains an everyday player for fantasy purposes in a strong Toronto lineup.
