Blue Jays make surprising Vladimir Guerrero Jr. decision.
The Toronto Blue Jays have made a decision on star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. amid his 0-for-22 slump.
Guerrero has been hitless in his last six games, and ahead of the team’s series finale against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, the Blue Jays made a change to their lineup. Guerrero has been hitting third, but Toronto has pushed him to bat second on Sunday.
The Blue Jays’ lineup is as follows:
Not only is Guerrero batting second, but he’s also the DH, so all he has to focus on is hitting. The hope is that the change can help spark Guerrero to get out of his slump.
Although moving up to second doesn’t seem like a major change, it is something he doesn’t like, as Blue Jays reporter Keegan Matheson of MLB.com noted.
“Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is batting 2nd for the first time since June 15, 2025. Vladdy has always preferred batting 3rd. John Schneider has always liked the idea of Vladdy batting 2nd in certain lineup constructions, and at this point, why the hell not,” Matheson wrote on X.
Guerrero is now hitting .280 with 2 home runs and 19 RBIs.
