After being the team’s No. 3 hitter in the previous two games, the Blue Jays have moved Guerrero Jr. in the lineup as he will be the team’s No. 2 hitter in the second game of the series.
Wednesday’s contest will mark the 10th time this season Guerrero Jr. has served as the team’s No. 2 hitter. Manager John Schneider had previously moved him in the lineup as he wanted to get him going. As a result, Guerrero Jr. has now hit in three different spots in the lineup over the past five games.
The five-time All-Star is currently batting .276 with 69 hits, 12 doubles, three home runs, 39 runs, 27 RBIs and five stolen bases in 69 games. His .726 OPS is the lowest of his MLB career.
After Tuesday’s win, the Toronto Blue Jays improved to 35-38, which is third in the American League East. They have gone 5-5 over their last 10 games.
Right-hander Braydon Fisher will serve as the team’s opener. He will make his fifth start this season. Chad Dallas is expected to follow as the bulk reliever. In his previous outing, Dallas went 3.2 innings while allowing only one run on two hits.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have also announced their starting lineup for the second game of the series.
