The 24-year-old first baseman went 2-for-4 at the plate, including a towering home run that accounted for all three of the Blue Jays' runs in their 3-0 win. With this performance, Guerrero Jr. now has 23 home runs and 89 RBI on the season, solidifying his status as one of the league's top power hitters.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a mixed performance in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

While he managed to hit a home run and drive in two runs, he also struggled with strikeouts, striking out twice in four at-bats. This inconsistency has been a recurring theme for Guerrero this season, as he has shown flashes of power but has also struggled to make consistent contact. With a batting average of .263 and a strikeout rate of 0.149, Guerrero will need to work on improving his plate discipline in order to maximize his fantasy value going forward.
