As soon as today's Blue Jays game ended, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went to the batting cage to work on his swing. He does that periodically – and evidently felt today was a day where some extra reps would help.

Fitzgerald has 178 games of MLB experience with a career .739 OPS. He hit 15 HR at the MLB level in 2024. Fast runner, versatile enough to play multiple positions

Replaces some of the depth lost via Leo Jimenez – but there's more flexibility here since Fitzgerald can be optioned https://t.co/mj1VE05qC9

The Yankees plan to have Luis Gil return to the rotation on April 10 at Tropicana Field, Aaron Boone said.

Blue Jays now have two switch-hitting catchers on their active roster, and it sounds like both Tyler Heineman and Brandon Valenzuela will be used regularly.

"I think it'll be a pretty even split," John Schneider said.
