Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Taking the Day Off
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday in the second game of a series in St. Louis against the Cardinals. Ernie Clement will take over at first base and will bat sixth against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. This is Guerrero's first day off since back on April 10. The 26-year-old four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner only has eight long balls on the season through 247 at-bats, but he's thriving otherwise with a .275 average (68-for-247) with 29 RBI, 40 runs scored and a stolen base. So far in eight games in June, he's hitting .250 (8-for-32) with four doubles, three RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base. Clement has one of the slowest swings in the big leagues but stays short and makes plenty of contact. He's hitting .273 (54-for-198) on the year with limited power (three homers). He's hitless in two career at-bats versus Mikolas.
