The 26-year-old second baseman was pulled from Wednesday’s game due to tightness in his right quad. The Jays are still awaiting his MRI results, but Giménez said Thursday that he’s feeling much improved. He’s considered day-to-day. Ernie Clement will start at second base on Thursday evening and will bat eighth against Jose Soriano and the Angels in Los Angeles.

Varsho has only played in seven games this year, but they’ve been seven good ones. He’s homered three times already, and his slugging percentage is a remarkable — and entirely unsustainable — .727 over 22 at-bats. Varsho has been a mediocre offensive player in his two seasons with the Blue Jays, but it’s possible at the age of 28 he’s having a breakout campaign. Far from a guarantee, but possible.

Guerrero also drew a walk. It gives the first baseman multiple hits in back-to-back games, and it’s the third time in May that he’s reached that mark. That’s helped raise his average from .268 to .295, and the only thing fantasy managers can be disappointed with is his .432 slugging percentage. That number should continue to climb as the season unfolds, but Vladdy Jr. has had some inconsistent seasons when it comes to power production.

Green got the save after Jeff Hoffman worked in back-to-back games — and struggled — in the first two contests against the Angels. He struck out two and looked the part while needing just nine pitches to get through the inning. Hoffman should remain the closer, but Green is on his tail if the struggles were to continue.

That’s the first homer of the season for Marte, but it’s worth pointing out it was only the 31-year-old’s 15th game because of his hamstring issue. The veteran infielder has been one of the best second baseman in baseball, and the balls should start going consistently over the fence on a more consistent basis now that he’s healthy.

Stott led off the game with a double, advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Bryce Harper. He then tagged Edwin Uceta for a 409-foot (104.2 mph EV) three-run blast with two outs in the eighth inning, pulling the Phillies to within a run at 5-4. With his two-hit attack, the 27-year-old infielder is now hitting .277/.340/.415 with three homers, 20 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season.

Torres three-run double off of Tanner Gordon broke a 1-1 tie and gave the Tigers a lead they would never relinquish. It was his only hit in five at-bats on the evening. The 28-year-old infielder has been outstanding so far for the Tigers, slashing a healthy .290/.348/.460 with four homers, 20 RBI and four stolen bases through his first 25 games.
