Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasts second-level homer vs. Diamondbacks

The post Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasts second-level homer vs. Diamondbacks appeared first on ClutchPoints. Toronto Blue Jays star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted a second-level home run to put his team up 2-0 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The four-time All-Star has had a relatively quiet season by his standards, but he's still on pace to make the Midsummer Classic once again. The Blue Jays are right in the thick of the playoff race at 38-33, trying to keep up with several teams in the American League East. Advertisement To get back to the postseason for the third time in four years, Toronto will need Guerrero Jr. to hit another gear in the second half of the season, which is usually a reliable bet. Fortunately, the 26-year-old showed a very positive sign with this no-doubter against Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Pfaadt. The Blue Jays are in the middle of the pack in terms of their prowess at the plate and on the mound. That said, there are plenty of talented players on this roster, especially in the lineup, who should continue improving as the season progresses. And it will be a season-long war for the division crown, with how things are shaping up. The New York Yankees currently lead the AL East at 42-29, but have been in a rut recently. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox have been on a tear and are above .500. Boston may have just completed a shocking trade of three-time All-Star Rafael Devers, but it still has a talented roster capable of sneaking into the Wild Card. Speaking of the Wild Card, plenty of dangerous teams like the Cleveland Guardians and Seattle Mariners are lurking. Advertisement Overall, it's a long season, and the Blue Jays are currently undergoing an evaluation period. They will need to decide whether to be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. The front office will very likely be a buyer, especially with the team's current spot and the fact that Guerrero Jr. and plenty of other key contributors on the roster are squarely in their primes. And Toronto could use some more quality arms, specifically in their bullpen, and another power hitter before July 31st. Overall, Guerrero Jr. showcased his trademark power on Tuesday. The first baseman is the clear face of this franchise, and this team will go as far as he does. It's a long road to October, but Toronto is still firmly in the hunt, and the time to move up in the AL East is now, with the way the Yankees have been struggling.

Max Scherzer's stern take after rehab start for Blue Jays

The post Max Scherzer's stern take after rehab start for Blue Jays appeared first on ClutchPoints. Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer has had a frustrating season. Scherzer has battled an injured thumb and missed a lot of time for Toronto. The pitcher is currently doing a rehab stint in Buffalo, where he worked more than four innings in a start on Friday. Advertisement Scherzer threw 56 total pitches in his outing Friday for the Buffalo Bisons. Following the game, Scherzer addressed the idea that he is building up some momentum. 'Yeah, you can say that, but I'm not celebrating anything until I'm actually back in big-league games and recovering in big-league games,' Scherzer said, per Sportsnet Canada. 'This thumb issue is a serious issue. I don't declare myself out of the woods on this because I've got to be able to do this at the big-league level and recover at the big-league level.' Scherzer hasn't pitched for the Blue Jays since March 29. He has made just one game appearance for Toronto this season. In that game, he allowed two earned runs in three innings to the Baltimore Orioles. The Blue Jays would love to have Max Scherzer back The Blue Jays spent plenty of money last offseason to sign Scherzer to a one-year deal. Even though the pitcher hasn't been able to go for Toronto, the club is doing well this year. Toronto is 38-31 on the campaign, and second in the American League East. Advertisement Scherzer says he is thirsting to be able to join up with his teammates and pitch again. 'I'm dying here. I want to be out there helping the team as much as anybody,' Scherzer added. 'I hate sitting here on the IL. I want to be out there competing and help the ballclub win. I've got to do my work here. Got to do this process right. Got to build up. And if I do, I can be back out there.' Toronto plays the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, in the second of a three-game series. Philadelphia won the first contest on Friday, 8-0.
