Guerrero seizes opportunity with Varsho's absence in Toronto

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has a chance to shine with the Toronto Blue Jays as Daulton Varsho is currently out. Varsho is recovering from shoulder surgery and has not yet returned to the field. This allows Guerrero Jr. a greater role in the team's lineup. Guerrero Jr., who has played as a designated hitter this spring, has been performing well with a batting average of .276 and four home runs. The Blue Jays hope he will be ready to play in the field soon. Guerrero Jr. is entering his third season with the team and aims to improve on his last year's performance, where he hit .214 with 18 home runs in 136 games. Although Guerrero Jr. and Varsho do not play the same position, both are crucial to the team's success. Guerrero Jr. is looking to prove his value, especially with uncertainty around his contract. A strong performance could lead to a multi-year extension, making him a top free agent. With Varsho's absence, Guerrero Jr. has an important opportunity to impress the management. He is determined to show that he is worth a significant contract going forward as the season begins.
