The Jays had Bo Bichette DHing today and Ernie Clement playing short, so their options were limited after Guerrero exited. Giménez, who was primarily a shortstop in the minors, had played second base exclusively since starting 13 games at short for the Guardians in 2022. He finished today’s game against his old team 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Some days you’re allowed to intentionally throw at hitters and some days you’re not. Fortunately for Gausman and the Blue Jays, no ejection came of Gausman’s obvious targeting of José Ramírez to begin the fourth today. That followed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. getting hit in the back arm by a 2-2 sinker in the third. Both hitters were forced from the game afterwards. At least Gausman didn’t gear up for the Ramírez pitch; it checked in at 95.0 mph. A couple of batters later, he actually hit 98.4 mph on a heater to Lane Thomas; which was four mph harder than his season average. Gausman wound up with 15 whiffs and six strikeouts today. The victory makes him 6-6 with a 4.21 ERA ahead of a showdown with the Yankees next week.

Kirk came off the bench with the bases loaded, and he was credited with two RBI on his single while a third run scored on an error by Steven Kwan. Kirk is now slashing an excellent .313/.358/.433, and if not for the remarkable season from Cal Raleigh in Seattle, you could put him in the conversation for best fantasy catcher in the American League.

Lukes poked a two-run single in the third to give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead, and that was all the offense Kevin Gausman was going to need Thursday. The 30-year-old outfielder has been much more valuable to Toronto than fantasy managers, as he’s still slashing .259/.354/.357 with that single and a walk. The world needs fourth outfielders, too.

Torres took J.T. Ginn deep with a runner on the seventh inning to give the Tigers a 5-0 lead and gave Torres his eighth homer of the 2025 campaign. He also drew a walk, and in his first season with Detroit, he’s now slashing .281/.386/.430. You can do a heck of a lot worse.

This is Campbell’s first start at first base after beginning to work at the position once he was demoted. Campbell struggled at the plate on Wednesday, striking out four times, but the 22-year-old can be afford some grace at the plate given all the work he’s doing on the defensive side of the ball. Given all the changes, we should expect Campbell to take some time at Triple-A to get comfortable with the adjustments.
