X-rays have already return negative for Guerrero, so that’s good news. The bad news is that he was removed from Thursday’s contest, and while it does appear he’s avoided a significant injury, fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status for the upcoming weekend. They can do that while breathing a sigh of relief at the same time, however.

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.

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.

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.

The 109.6-mph liner to right in the second innings was Busch’s first ever homer in Busch Stadium. He later added a 106.3-mph single off Andre Pallante. Busch isn’t going to be an NL All-Star unless a couple of first basemen drop out, but he does have the numbers; he’s batting .311/.386/.608 with six homers in June, elevating his season OPS to .869.

Santana had a terrific final two weeks of May, but that’s really the only thing keeping his stat line afloat. He’s come in at .169/.220/.260 with an unusually poor 20/5 K/BB ratio in 82 plate appearances this month. He had a 37/30 K/BB in 220 plate appearances over the first two months.

Torkelson’s 17th homer was a solo blast off Jeffrey Springs in the second inning. The 25-year-old also singled and came around to score on a triple by Zach McKinstry. Torkelson’s best season of his MLB career has him slashing .224/.328/.474 with the aforementioned homer total and 50 runs driven in; putting him just short of a 100-RBI pace.
