On Sunday, the Toronto Blue Jays finish off their three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles.

After winning their last game against the Orioles by a 7-3 final score, the Blue Jays will be aiming to end the series with another victory.

Now, as the Blue Jays prepare for their series finale against Baltimore, they have announced a decision regarding Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Looking at Guerrero

Guerrero has been having some struggles at the plate lately, as he has struck out four times in his last two games alone. However, he also hit a double and recorded an RBI in his last game against the Orioles, so he will be aiming to build off that for the Blue Jays.

The 2026 season has been a tough one in general for Guerrero, though. In 134 games this season with Toronto, he has recorded just eight home runs, 55 RBI, and a career-low .259 batting average.
