Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will focus on first base, per manager Charlie Montoyo. Travis Shaw is expected to slide over to third base. (Ben Nicholson-Smith on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Guerrero Jr. was slated to play everyday at third base, but apparently the Blue Jays feel comfortable with playing him at first and at DH. Guerrero's eligibility at first helps his fantasy value, given that the position isn't as deep as third base. As a result, his ADP will probably go up from the low-60's that it currently resides at. Look for him to improve on his .272/.339/.433 slash line from his rookie campaign.
