Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be called up to the big leagues and Friday and is expected to start versus the Oakland Athletics.
Guerrero Jr. has been crushing in Triple-A this season, slashing .360/.429/.640 with 2 homers in 28 plate appearances and is finally getting the call up to the big leagues. He is expected to slot in at third base or designated hitter while becoming a fixture in the Blue Jays lineup, possibly for years to come.
Our models project Vlad Jr. for a .298 average with 18 homers and 61 RBI in 440 plate appearances the rest of the season.
