Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will stay in the top batting order. The decision holds despite ongoing difficulties and inconsistency from Guerrero at the plate. Schneider clarified why the team will not move him down in the lineup for now.
The team backs Guerrero entering the final playoff push in the AL playoff race. This backing comes during their series against the Royals. Toronto continues its stretch in the American League standings with Guerrero in his top batting position.
