Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) made his return from the seven-day concussion injured list on Saturday and was starting at first base and batting out of the two-hole for the start of Saturday's contest in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees and left-hander Ryan Weathers, per MLB.com. Guerrero has been cleared after going 1-for-1 with two walks in a single minor-league rehab game with Single-A on Thursday. Fantasy managers are hoping that the 27-year-old Canadian slugger can turn his season around in the final month-plus after an especially disappointing 2026 that has seen him hit just .263/.337/.356 with a .693 OPS, seven home runs, 46 RBI, 61 runs scored, and seven stolen bases across his 430 at-bats. Vladdy's drop in power has been the most concerning and head-scratching of all. Going into Saturday's game against the Yanks, Guerrero has hit .244 (11-for-45) with a homer, a double, two RBI, and six runs scored in 11 games so far in August.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) is going through a full workout today that consists of running, fielding groundballs, and taking on-field batting practice, and the team is still targeting Saturday for his activation from the seven-day concussion injured list, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Guerrero could play in a minor-league rehab game on Thursday or Friday with Single-A Dunedin if he clears his concussion testing. Fantasy managers can only hope that the 27-year-old six-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner can reset offensively after his short stint on the concussion IL to finish strong in 2026. Through his first 430 at-bats this year, Vladdy has been one of the biggest busts in fantasy, slashing .263/.337/.356 with a career-worst .693 OPS, only seven home runs, 46 RBI, 61 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 115 games and 486 plate appearances. Despite how bad he has been, especially in the power department, Guerrero should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues. He is rostered in 96% of Yahoo leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) went through a light on-field workout at Tropicana Field on Tuesday and finished with some higher-intensity running, which is a good indication that he's making swift progress through MLB's concussion protocol, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. The Blue Jays placed Guerrero on the seven-day concussion injured list on Saturday, and it is unclear if he might make enough progress to have a chance to return this weekend against the New York Yankees when he is eligible. The 27-year-old Canadian has had a trying 2026 campaign and has been a massive bust for fantasy managers, slashing .263/.337/.356 with a career-worst .693 OPS, only seven home runs, 46 RBI, 61 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 115 games across 486 plate appearances. Fantasy managers who have Guerrero rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues can only hope that his poor campaign has been the result of nagging injuries. He has yet to hit more than two home runs in any month this year and was hitting .244 (11-for-45) in 11 games in August before suffering a concussion.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (concussion) was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Saturday, a day after colliding with George Lombard Jr. at third base. The 27-year-old had never been placed on the Injured List during his eight seasons in the majors and will now be out of the Blue Jays' lineup for at least seven days while both he and the team manage the situation. Both Kazuma Okamoto and Charles McAdoo will likely get some reps at first base while the team deals with life without Guerrero, who has struggled all season to get going. The usually reliable slugger has hit only seven home runs this season while sporting a career-low .263 batting average. The hope is that he can return after missing as little time as possible, though, at this point, it's unclear just how long he will remain out of action.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (head) is absent from Saturday's starting nine against the division-rival New York Yankees, per MLB.com. Guerrero apparently took a knee to the head from Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr. when he was sliding into third base in the sixth inning of Friday night's game and was pulled early. The 27-year-old was placed in the league's concussion protocol, and manager John Schneider said that the right-handed slugger was dealing with a headache. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if Guerrero is forced to the seven-day concussion injured list if his symptoms don't clear up soon. For now, we'll consider him day-to-day. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Sunday to see if he's cleared to return to the starting lineup. Charles McAdoo is starting at first base and batting ninth on Saturday against Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler. Not much has gone right for Vladdy in 2026, as he's been one of the biggest fantasy busts, hitting .263/.337/.356 with a .693 OPS, only seven home runs, 46 RBI, 61 runs, and seven stolen bases across his 430 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (head) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. According to Mitch Bannon, Guerrero was removed after suffering a head injury while sliding into third base. Guerrero collided with the knee of George Lombard Jr., which resulted in Guerrero being pulled from the game for precautionary reasons. Before leaving, Guerrero went 1-for-3 at the plate with a single and a run scored. The Jays will likely continue to evaluate him, but for now, fantasy managers should consider Guerrero as day-to-day. There should be another update on his status ahead of Saturday's game. UPDATE: MLB.com's Keegan Matheson reports that Guerrero is going through the league's concussion protocol. Manager John Schneider said Guerrero had a "bit of a headache."

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) is back at first base and is batting third in the batting order for Saturday's contest on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola at Citizens Bank Park, per MLB.com. Guerrero is back for the Jays after sitting out the last three games due to tightness in his hamstring, an injury that has cropped up several times this year. The 27-year-old six-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner has been one of the league's biggest fantasy baseball busts in 2026, as he enters Saturday's action with a .259/.338/.349 slash line, .687 OPS, only six home runs, 44 RBI, 56 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 108 games across 456 plate appearances. Vladdy hasn't spent time on the injured list, but one has to wonder how healthy he's been this year while seeing a massive drop-off in the power department. He hit under .200 with just one homer in 23 games in June, and he hasn't hit more than two homers in any month this season. Fantasy managers are just hoping Guerrero can come alive for the stretch run. He'll face Nola on Saturday, a pitcher he has a home run and two RBI against in eight career at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies, marking his third straight absence. Guerrero last played Tuesday against the Houston Astros, going 0-for-3 with a walk before sitting Wednesday and Thursday. Manager John Schneider said earlier this week that Guerrero had been dealing with hamstring tightness but did not expect the issue to require a trip to the injured list. The 27-year-old is batting .259 with six home runs and 44 RBI this season. Kazuma Okamoto will start at first base Friday.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) remains out of his team's lineup for the second straight game on Thursday. Guerrero Jr. has been in and out of the Toronto lineup since exiting early from a game on July 28 due to hamstring tightness. While the Blue Jays have not indicated that their star first baseman will require a trip to the injured list, it's obviously a concern for fantasy managers that Guerrero Jr. will get a second straight day off on Thursday. It's been a frustrating year overall for the 27-year-old, who is hitting .259/.338/.349 with six home runs, 44 RBI, 55 runs scored, and seven stolen bases across 456 plate appearances. With Guerrero Jr. out of the lineup, the Blue Jays have shifted third baseman Kazuma Okamoto across the diamond to first base and used infielders Ernie Clement and Josh Smith to cover the hot corner.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Guerrero left Tuesday's loss to Washington after feeling tightness in his right hamstring while reaching first base and turning toward second on an infield single. He sat out Wednesday before Toronto's scheduled off-day Thursday. The 27-year-old returns with a .264 batting average, six home runs, 44 RBI, seven stolen bases, and a .700 OPS this season. Fantasy managers can get Guerrero back into their lineups immediately.
