Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Starting At Third Base
6 months agoFor the first time since 2019, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is starting at third base on Sunday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Quinn Priester. Guerrero is hitting in the three-hole. Regular third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa is getting the start at second base on Sunday for the series finale. Guerrero has been taking grounders at third base recently and could become an option at the hot corner for Toronto moving forward, although the bulk of his time will still likely come across the diamond at first base. Fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up that the 25-year-old will regain eligibility at third base in 2024. Although it hasn't come with much power (only five long balls), Guerrero has hit well so far this season, slashing .292/.390/.406 with 25 RBI, two steals and 25 runs scored in 219 at-bats. Keep him in your lineups against Priester.
