Top Vladimir Guerrero News

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: In line to bat second

    Guerrero is expected to open the season batting second for the Blue Jays, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

    The overwhelming majority of Guerrero's starts last season came from the third (110 games) or fourth (36 games) spots in the Toronto batting order. However, manager John Schneider basically confirmed Tuesday that he planned to slide Guerrero up to the No. 2 hole in between George Springer and Bo Bichette. Justin Turner will follow them in the cleanup spot.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Slugs homer Friday

    Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

    He launched a Mason Englert offering completely out of the stadium to left-center field for a two-run shot in the fifth inning. Guerrero sat out a few days with a knee bruise he picked up making a sliding catch in foul territory last weekend, but it looks like he's fully healthy again. Through nine Grapefruit League games, the 25-year-old slugger is batting .417 (10-for-24) with a double and two homers.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Back at first base Friday

    Guerrero (knee) is starting at first base and batting third in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

    The 24-year-old returned to the lineup as the designated hitter Wednesday after sitting out a couple games with a bruised left knee, and he's back playing defense a couple days later. There never seemed to be significant concern over the injury, and there shouldn't be any worries regarding Guerrero's availability for Opening Day.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Back in Wednesday as DH

    Guerrero (knee) will bat third as the designated hitter in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

    It's uncertain when Guerrero might return to the field, but he'll be able to return to exhibition play and get his at-bats in after making it through a full workout Tuesday. While Guerrero has been in and out of the lineup in recent days due to finger and knee issues, the Blue Jays don't seem to have any serious concern about his availability for Opening Day at this stage. The team didn't order imaging on his left knee.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Going through full workout Tuesday

    Guerrero (knee) will go through a full workout Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Guerrero is missing a second straight Grapefruit League contest Tuesday with a left knee contusion, but he does not need any imaging and Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the club is "just being cautious right now." Expect Vlad Jr. to return in a day or two.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Out Tuesday with knee contusion

    Guerrero (knee) is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Yankees.

    He was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to a left knee contusion suffered Saturday and was not in Monday's lineup either. Manager John Schneider will speak to reporters later in the morning and could provide an update on Guerrero's status.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Nursing bruised knee

    Guerrero was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles due to a left knee contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    The 24-year-old was slated to start at first base and bat second in one of Sunday's split-squad games versus Baltimore, but he'll instead receive a day off after suffering the injury Saturday. Manager John Schneider said it's a minor issue that won't require medical testing, so Guerrero could be back in action within the next few days.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Back in action Saturday

    Guerrero (finger) will start at first base and bat third in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

    It appears to be all systems go for Guerrero after he jammed his left middle finger during a plate appearance Tuesday. He has six hits this spring, including a majestic, 438-foot homer to dead center field against the Phillies on March 4. A bounce-back season is widely expected for the 24-year-old.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Has been out with jammed finger

    Guerrero has been unavailable the last few days after jamming his left middle finger during a plate appearance Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The good news is the injury is considered minor, as Guerrero is expected back in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Phillies. Vlad Jr. has had a strong Grapefruit League showing this spring, going 6-for-16 with a double and a home run.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Belts first homer this spring

    Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

    The first baseman launched a no-doubt solo shot to straightaway center field of Nick Nelson in the first inning, Guerrero's first long ball of the spring, before adding an RBI single in the fifth. Guerrero came into camp in excellent shape, and that's translated into positive early results at the plate -- he's gone 6-for-13 through five games with a 1:2 BB:K.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Healthy to begin spring

    Guerrero acknowledged Tuesday that he played through nagging injuries for most of 2023, but he spent the offseason getting into better shape in an effort to stay in one piece through the long season, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports. "I achieved all the goals that I wanted to achieve," Guerrero said. "Of course, being in shape like I used to be, like I felt before in previous years, and I really believe that I achieved that goal. And I feel great right now."

    The first baseman dealt with knee and wrist issues last year, and while he missed only six games, he wasn't often playing at 100 percent. "If I tell you that I didn't play with pain in a lot of games, I would be lying," he said. "But that's not an excuse. It's part of the game. Sometimes you got to go on the field and grind, even if everything hurts. Also, I probably won't blame that because I didn't have the best preparation in the offseason last year." Guerrero seems to have learned his lesson when it comes to offseason prep, as he reported to camp both trimmer and stronger. If improved fitness translates into better results at the plate, the 24-year-old could recapture the MVP-level form he displayed in 2021.
