Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is back in mid-season form as he stepped to the plate for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The young slugger went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in the loss. In his nine spring games, Guerrero is 10-for-24 with two home runs and eight RBI. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a knee and finger injury early in camp. However, Guerrero looks healthy now and continues to mash the baseball heading into Opening Day.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) is back in the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, serving as the designated hitter and batting third for the team. Guerrero has missed spring training games of late due to both knee and finger injuries, but he's fine now and should return to the field by this weekend. The 24-year-old should be just fine for the start of the 2024 regular season by the end of the month. Although fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Vladdy Jr. to return to his 2021 levels -- when he hit .311/.401/.601 with a league-high 48 home runs and 111 RBI -- he can still serve as a top-five fantasy first baseman in a hitter-friendly home park and a strong Blue Jays lineup.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee), who is dealing with a left-knee contusion, will go through a full workout at the team's player development complex on Tuesday. Guerrero hasn't been sent for imaging, and manager John Schneider said there's "nothing new with him -- just being cautious right now." The Blue Jays don't think the 24-year-old's injury is serious, but he's still being held out of his second straight Grapefruit League game as a precaution. It's nothing to be overly worried about right now, but it's still not what fantasy managers want to see from a player who has had conditioning issues in the past. We probably aren't going to see the gaudy numbers when he hit .311 and blasted 48 homers in 2021, but Vlad still has the potential to be a top-five fantasy first baseman if he can stay healthy.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's Spring Training contest. The right-handed slugger suffered a left knee contusion during Saturday's game. As a result, the Jays have decided to hold out Guerrero for at least one game. This issue appears to be minor, but the team isn't going to take any chances this early into camp. The expectation is that Guerrero will be back in the lineup within a few days.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. suffered a jammed left middle finger during a plate appearance on Tuesday in a Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The team gave him a few days to let the discomfort subside but he is scheduled to be in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Philadelphia Phillies. The 24-year-old endured a down 2023 season by his lofty standards, hitting .264 with 26 home runs and a .789 OPS across 156 games played. That said, he is a very attractive bounce-back candidate as ATC projects him to hit 32 home runs alongside 98 RBI, six stolen bases, and an .863 OPS in 2024. He is a quality look at his 33.1 ADP.
