After an injury scare on Monday in which Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (toe) went for mid-game X-rays at Rogers Centre after fouling a ball off his left toe, he's back at first base on Tuesday and is hitting third against the visiting New York Mets and left-hander David Peterson. Obviously, X-rays came back negative, and the four-time All-Star slugger is back in there to face a left-handed hurler in the second game of the series. The 25-year-old has been Toronto's most consistent hitter all season long and needs to remain in all starting fantasy lineups. He has gone hitless in his last two contests, but Vladdy is still hitting .280 (7-for-25) in six games so far in September with a homer, two doubles and five RBI. Only six of his 28 long balls on the year have been against lefties, but he's also hit .327 (33-for-101) against them.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (foot) fouled a ball off his toes on his left foot during Monday's 3-2 loss to the New York Mets at the Rogers Centre and underwent X-rays in the middle of the game, which came back negative. The Blue Jays will see how Guerrero feels on Tuesday, but it sounds like he has avoided a serious injury. Guerrero, who was serving as the designated hitter in this one, played the entire game and finished 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in the loss. Fantasy managers should consider Vlad to be day-to-day for now, but don't be surprised if Toronto holds him out of the starting lineup as a precaution on Tuesday. If the 25-year-old misses any time, rookie Spencer Horwitz will see more time at first. Guerrero, who has been an All-Star each of the last four seasons, is having a great season with a .324/.395/.554 slash line, 28 homers and 94 RBI in 141 games.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The team decided to give Guerrero a rest day here after he had started in the last eight games. During the span, Guerrero collected 14 hits with a batting average over .450, so fantasy managers that held onto him are getting rewarded in the second half of the season. Spencer Horwitz will cover first base and bat third versus right-hander Bailey Ober. The 26-year-old has racked up five hits in his last two games and has a favorable matchup on Sunday. Fantasy managers that are looking for help should consider Horwitz as a possible option.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had another solid game on Saturday as he hit a solo shot in the eighth inning to go along with a RBI double during the Blue Jays' 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. While the story of the game on Saturday was Bowden Francis' dominant performance, Guerrero Jr.'s production helped secure the win for Toronto. He now has 27 HR and 83 RBI on the season and leads the Blue Jays in both categories. His 163 OPS+ also ranks just four points behind his 167 OPS+ in 2021 when he finished second in the AL MVP race behind Shohei Ohtani. Having Guerrero Jr. in your fantasy lineup should be a no-brainer at this point as Toronto winds down its season in a low stress environment. Expect him to be in tomorrow's lineup against Angels' scheduled starter Tyler Anderson, who he is 5-9 against in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is getting the day off on Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels at Rogers Centre. Guerrero will get his first day of rest in the second half of the season amidst a breakout offensively since the All-Star break. The Blue Jays have used Vladdy twice at third base this week and also as the designated hitter to get rookie Spencer Horwitz's bat into the lineup at first base. Horwitz is back at first and batting third on Friday, with George Springer serving as the DH and batting leadoff, and rookie Addison Barger at third and in the eight-hole against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. The 25-year-old Guerrero has been red-hot since the All-Star break, slashing an incredible .400/.479/.825 with a 1.304 OPS, 12 homers, 13 doubles, a triple, 26 RBI and 28 runs scored in 32 games. He'll be back in action on Saturday against the Halos.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is making another start at third base and will hit third in Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Nick Martinez at Rogers Centre. It will be Guerrero's second straight start at the hot corner and only his eighth time this year manning the position, as most of his work has come at first base for Toronto. Rookie Spencer Horwitz is starting at first base and is hitting cleanup for the Jays. It's been a disappointing year for Toronto, but Vladdy has been one of their bright spots, slashing .318/.390/.552 with a .942 OPS, 26 home runs, 81 RBI and 73 runs scored through 125 games in his fourth straight All-Star campaign. The 25-year-old slugger has been one of the best hitters in the league since the All-Star break, batting .416 (47-for-113) with 12 homers, 13 doubles, a triple and 26 RBI in 30 games played. Keep him in your lineups.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continued his torrid second half in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Reds. Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-3 with a solo home run. He was also hit by a pitch. The 25-year-old quickly welcomed Julian Aguiar to his first career big-league start, demolishing a first-inning breaking pitch into the second deck of the left-field seats. Guerrero Jr. has provided top-tier fantasy production in the second half of the season, slashing .413/.488/.881 with 12 HR and 26 RBI in 109 at-bats. His power boost could be due to raising his average launch angle up to 9.8 degrees in the second half, which would be the second-highest mark of his career.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stayed hot on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a double and his 25th home run of the season in a 9-2 win over the Angels. The 25-year-old also collected three RBI in the contest. He's now homered in back-to-back games and has hit safely in 24 of his last 25. The 4x All-Star is now the author of a robust .323-25-80-72-2 line with a .404 wOBA and 167 wRC+. If not for Aaron Judge and Bobby Witt Jr., you might be looking at an AL MVP contender.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. extended his hit streak to 21 games on Friday night, notching two hits and scoring a run in Toronto's 3-1 win over the Oakland Athletics. Both of the 25-year-old's hits were singles, and he now has a .946 OPS on the season. Though Toronto is well outside of the playoff picture, Vladdy continues to give Blue Jays fans, and fantasy managers alike, something to watch for every single night. What's even more impressive is that Guerrero's .402 wOBA is paired with a .413 xwOBA, meaning even with how ridiculously good as he's been, some positive regression is coming his way still. Fantasy managers need to ensure they keep Vladdy in their lineups. He will look to extend his hit streak to 22 games on Saturday when the Blue Jays face off against the A's scheduled starter Osvaldo Bido.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was at it again on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a homer, a triple, and a double in a 7-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Vladdy also drove in four and scored two runs to round out his line. He also extended his hitting streak to 20 games. The 25-year-old has been the best hitter in baseball since he cut his hair on June 19, slashing .385/.438/.782 with 15 homers and 42 RBI. Maybe he's the reverse Samson, or maybe he's just figured something out at the dish. The talent was always there, and we just might be seeing it all come together for Vladdy.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a great day at the plate, smacking a solo HR, a double and a single in Toronto's 8-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday. Guerrero's solo shot came in the first inning off Yankees starter Carlos Rodon, his 28th HR on the season. The 25-year-old improved his OPS to .929 on the season, though his strong efforts weren't enough as the Blue Jays' record fell to 51-60. Vladdy's 2024 is on pace to be the second best season of his career with a 157 OPS+ and 4.0 bWAR coming into Saturday, trailing only his 2021 marks that saw him finish second in AL MVP voting. Though Toronto's season is reeling (10.5 GB in the wild card race) Guerrero Jr. continues to be a bright spot for the Blue Jays. Fantasy managers should continue to keep him in their starting lineups as often as possible. He'll look to continue his hot streak on Sunday against scheduled starter Gerrit Cole, who he is 11-32 against with two HR and three doubles in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was one of the few bright spots in his team's 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, his 17th of the season, in the contest. The veteran infielder launched a solo shot in the sixth inning, a blast that traveled 424 feet with an exit velocity of 112 MPH to cut the Tampa lead to 3-1. Guerrero is putting together another elite fantasy season, hitting .293 with 17 homers, 50 runs, 60 RBI, and two steals across 386 at-bats. With his name popping up in trade rumors, Guerrero has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .370 with four homers and seven RBI over his past seven contests.

Toronto Blue Jays superstar third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continued his hot hitting Saturday in a 7-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-4, knocking two singles before crushing a 418-foot blast to center field off Tigers right-hander Kenta Maeda. Over his last three games leading up to and coming out of the All-Star break, Guerrero Jr. has gone 7-for-13 with four runs scored, five RBI, and homers in each of the three. The 25-year-old is hitting .293 on the season, up to 16 HR and 59 RBI. With the Blue Jays at the bottom of a stacked American League East, Guerrero Jr. remains one of the more prominent names rumored to be dealt to a contender at the deadline. Meaningful games in September are music to a fantasy manager's ear and could potentially be the catalyst to his first 30 HR and 100 RBI season since 2021.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. came up clutch for his team during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The two sides traded seven-run rallies in what ended up being a high-scoring affair on Sunday. Guerrero gave his team the lead for good with a go-ahead 438-foot home run off right-hander Kevin Ginkel in the seventh inning. Guerrero finished the day 3-for-5 with pair of runs scored. He'll head into the All-Star break with 14 home runs and 55 RBI.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (finger) is back at first base and batting third in the order on Tuesday against the visiting Houston Astros and rookie right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. Guerrero was hit in his finger on his right hand in Sunday's contest against the New York Yankee. X-rays came back negative, but the Blue Jays scratched him as a precaution for the series opener on Canada Day on Monday against the Astros. The 25-year-old right-handed hitter is back for fantasy managers now and needs to be returned to all starting lineups, especially given the fact that he's heated up at the dish of late. Guerrero will be taking a modest six-game hitting streak into Tuesday's game. During his streak, he's gone 13-for-26 (.500) with four home runs, five doubles and 17 RBI to raise his season slash line to .297/..375/.471.

The Toronto Blue Jays want to make one last run with first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and shortstop Bo Bichette, so they should both be staying around past this summer's trade deadline until at least this winter, if not next summer. However, with their season already on the brink, they plan to place left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, catcher Danny Jansen, reliever Yimi Garcia, designated hitter Justin Turner and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier on the trade block. After the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss on Canada Day on Monday to the Houston Astros, Toronto is currently in dead last in the American League East while sitting eight games out of the last wild-card spot. Guerrero has been hot of late but is also dealing with a finger injury he picked up on Sunday, while Bichette has just not been able to get it going consistently on offense in 2024.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hand) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Houston Astros. Despite getting hit on the hand in Sunday's loss, Guerrero was originally in Toronto's lineup ahead of its series opener, batting third and starting at first base. However, he was later removed from the lineup due to "right fourth/fifth finger discomfort." It appears that the slugging first baseman is still feeling some soreness after getting hit in the hand one day before. The good news is that his X-rays were negative for any fractures, so for now, Guerrero is likely day-to-day.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hand) is starting at first base and is batting third for the team on Canada Day on Monday against the visiting Houston Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown. Guerrero had X-rays on his right hand come back negative after he was hit in the hand by a pitch in the third inning of Sunday's loss to the New York Yankees. The fact that the 25-year-old stayed in for the whole game was a sign that the injury wasn't all that serious, and it's confirmed by the fact that he's back in the lineup a day later for the start of a new series. Vlad Jr. will look to take his current hitting streak to eight games on Monday. During his seven-game streak, he's gone 15-for-31 (.484) with five homers, five doubles and 19 RBI. Despite his injury score, fantasy managers must keep Guerrero in their starting lineups everywhere.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been on a tear at the plate lately. His success continued during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBI in the win. He kicked off the game with a two-run homer in the opening frame. He didn't stop there as he cleared the bases in the sixth inning and added another run in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old corner infielder is slashing .296/.374/.470 with 13 home runs and 50 RBI this season. Fantasy managers that held Guerrero through his struggles are getting rewarded now.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continued his hot stretch on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a double and a homer. He scored twice and had two RBI to round out a solid stat line. Vladdy has been awesome for the last week, going 11-for-27 (.407) with four homers and 12 RBI in six games. This is the Vlad that fantasy managers were hoping for when they drafted him in the top 30. It seems that all he had to do was cut his hair.
