Players to Watch: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Guardians
Toronto Blue Jays
Ernie Clement — 2B. Ernie Clement anchors the bottom of Toronto’s lineup as a contact-first second baseman, hitting .275 this season. His .300 on-base percentage and .387 slugging percentage show a hitter who works counts and finds gaps rather than chasing power numbers.
Kazuma Okamoto — 3B. Kazuma Okamoto mans third base for Toronto and pairs a .227 average with 28 home runs and 78 RBIs. His home run total is more than triple Guerrero Jr.’s 8 among the Blue Jays hitters featured here, making him the clear source of thump in a Toronto lineup playing out the season 14.5 games back in the American League.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — 1B. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains the anchor at first base for Toronto, hitting .262 with 8 home runs and 53 RBIs across 470 at-bats this season. His .333 on-base percentage tops Clement’s .300 mark among Toronto’s regulars in this Players to Watch group, giving the Blue Jays lineup a steady presence even with the team 14.5 games back in the American League.
Cleveland Guardians
Chase DeLauter — RF. Chase DeLauter has been a steady presence in Cleveland’s outfield this season, batting .294 with 13 home runs and 60 RBIs in right field. His .365 on-base percentage and .455 slugging mark reflect an all-around offensive profile on a Guardians roster fighting to stay in the AL Central race.
Angel Martinez — LF. Angel Martinez patrols left field for Cleveland and has provided pop from an unexpected spot in the lineup, hitting .247 with 14 home runs and 50 RBIs. His 14 home runs trail only Adell’s 20 among the Guardians hitters featured here, giving Cleveland multiple sources of power behind DeLauter.
Jo Adell — RF. Jo Adell’s 20 home runs and 83 RBIs lead all Cleveland hitters in this group, ahead of Martinez’s 14 home runs and DeLauter’s 13, even though he’s hitting .241 this season. He gives the Guardians a legitimate power bat in the middle of the lineup as Cleveland tries to close a three-game gap atop the AL Central.
