Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has just 3 HR through the Blue Jays' first 67 games of the season... Cliff Floyd thinks Vladdy ne

What happened: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has managed just three home runs through the first 67 games of the 2026 season, marking the slowest power start of his career. Analyst Cliff Floyd noted that the slugger may need to adjust his positioning on the plate to better handle inside pitches and restore his natural swing path.

Why it matters: The power drought from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has hindered a Toronto offense currently sitting eight games back in the AL East. While the Blue Jays remain just one game out of the final Wild Card spot, his career-low 90.3 mph exit velocity and .740 OPS represent a significant hurdle for their postseason aspirations.

By the numbers: Vladdy 2026 Stats: .296 AVG, 3 HR, 25 RBI, .740 OPS. Blue Jays Standings: 32-35 (3rd AL East, 8.0 GB). Exit Velocity: 90.3 mph (Career Low).

What to watch: Toronto continues its pursuit of an AL Wild Card berth as Guerrero looks to implement technical adjustments in his next series.
