Feb 16 2020Guerrero has been working with hitting coach Guillermo Martinez to refine his swing plane and improve his launch angle, Gregor Chisholm of The Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 20-year-old is coming off a solid rookie season, but Vladito didn't meet the inflated expectations attached to him in the minors thanks in large part to a 6.7 percent launch angle and groundball rate north of 50 percent. Guerrero demonstrated in the Home Run Derby that he can crush a baseball; the trick now is to do it more consistently during game conditions. If he can add more loft to the ball and make better contact, the sky is the limit on his power potential.
Sep 29 2019Guerrero (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Guerrero was scratched from Saturday's lineup with right knee soreness, so it's not much of a surprise to see him held out Saturday. The 20-year-old figures to finish his rookie campaign with a .272/.339/.433 slash line, 15 home runs and 69 RBI in 123 games. Breyvic Valera will start at the hot corner in the season finale.
Sep 28 2019Guerrero was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Rays with right knee soreness, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He missed time in August with left knee inflammation, and now his other knee is giving him trouble. It may not seem like much, but given how big Guerrero is (at least 250 pounds), it is somewhat concerning that his lower body is giving him trouble in his age-20 season. With just one game left on the schedule, we may not see him again this season. Brandon Drury was added to the lineup at third base.
Sep 22 2019Guerrero is not in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Guerrero will take a seat for the first time since Sept. 15. He's in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. Brandon Drury will draw the start at third base and bat eighth in his place.
Sep 20 2019Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 victory against the Yankees on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Guerrero's four straight game with multiple hits. That's been great, but this was also his first home run since Aug. 22. Owners would like to see a little more pop from Guerrero over the last week, as he owns just a .443 slugging percentage. He is batting .276 with 15 home runs, 68 RBI and 51 runs in 442 at-bats this season.
Sep 19 2019Guerrero (ribs) is starting at third base and hitting cleanup Thursday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He left Wednesday's game with a left rib issue after colliding with Jonathan Villar at second base, but the injury was apparently minor. Guerrero is hitting .212 with zero home runs in 13 games this month.
Sep 18 2019Guerrero left Wednesday's game against the Orioles with a left rib injury, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Guerrero went 2-for-6 with one run and one strikeout before being replaced by a pinch runner (Jonathan Davis). The injury occurred during a collision at second base with Jonathan Villar. He is being evaluated by Toronto's medical staff.
Sep 15 2019Guerrero will sit Sunday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Guerrero sits for the second time this month. He's hit just .167/.217/.238 in 11 games this month, dragging his season OPS down to a good but not great .781. Richard Urena gets the start at third base Sunday.
Sep 2 2019Guerrero will get the day off Monday against the Braves.
Aug 23 2019Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.
Aug 21 2019Guerrero is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Aug 20 2019Guerrero (knee) is starting at third base and batting third Tuesday night against the Dodgers, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Aug 18 2019Guerrero's MRI revealed inflammation in his left knee, but the rookie downplayed the injury Sunday as "nothing major," Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Jul 24 2018Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run -- his 12th of the season -- in Double-A New Hampshire's 9-3 loss to Reading on Monday.Guerrero was initially assigned to High-A Dunedin after being activated from the 7-day disabled list July 17, but he returned to the Double-A squad two days later. The 19-year-old has picked up where he left off for New Hampshire prior to suffering a strained left kneecap, going 4-for-12 over his first three games back, which has actually lowered his season average to .406. Once he gets a little more action under his belt in the Eastern League, it's expected that Guerrero will move up to Triple-A Buffalo.
Jul 10 2018Guerrero (strained patella tendon) will join Triple-A Buffalo once he is activated from the minor-league disabled list, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.This isn't surprising, as Guerrero was reportedly days away from a promotion to Triple-A when he suffered the injury in early June. He is almost completely recovered from his injury, upping his workload in Florida over the past couple weeks, so he could join the Bisons very shortly. Naturally, this move to the highest level of the minors will lead to questions about when Guerrero could get a call-up to Toronto. Offensively, he is probably ready for the majors, but there are obviously a lot of factors at play that go well beyond his readiness on the field. The Blue Jays are barely hanging around the Wild Card race, and if they were willing to keep him at Double-A for 53 games while he was over 100 percent better (203 wRC+) than the average hitter in the Eastern League, it may be wishful thinking to expect them to quickly promote him from Triple-A to the big leagues, even if he gets off to an excellent start.
Jun 10 2018Guerrero was diagnosed with a strained left patella tendon Sunday after undergoing a battery of tests, John Lott of The Athletic Toronto reports. The Blue Jays plan to reevaluate Guerrero in four weeks.With the Blue Jays already beginning to fade from the playoff picture and Guerrero now on the shelf for at least the next month, it's looking increasingly unlikely that the third baseman will earn a promotion to the big club in 2018. Given the Blue Jays' stated intent of managing the 19-year-old "conservatively," it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't return to action at Double-A New Hampshire until August. It's an unfortunate setback for arguably the top prospect in all of the minors, who earned that distinction by slashing .407/.457/.667 with nearly as many walks (20) as strikeouts (21) in 235 plate appearances in the Eastern League.
Jun 7 2018Guerrero (leg) is still being evaluated after prematurely exiting Wednesday's game with Double-A New Hampshire, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.The injury is currently being described as a "hockey-esque" lower-body injury, with some suggesting that Guerrero could be dealing with a hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day until the Blue Jays update his status in the coming days.
Jun 7 2018Guerrero (leg) was placed on the 7-day minor-league disabled list Thursday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.Guerrero suffered what appeared to be some sort of hamstring injury during Wednesday's game, though the team has refrained from stating anything specific outside of calling it a leg injury. Toronto director of player development Gil Kim stated that the organization is just being cautious with this move, and that Guerrero isn't expected to be dealing with "anything serious." Expect an update on the 19-year-old's condition in the coming days after getting some rest.
Jun 6 2018Guerrero exited Wednesday's game at Double-A New Hampshire due to injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.Matheson reports that Guerrero didn't look 100% while running to first base on an infield single, and he also appeared injured while advancing to second base on the next play. He just returned Tuesday from a leg injury, so the same issue is likely bothering him. The Blue Jays figure to play it safe and keep him out of the lineup until Guerrero feels healthy enough to return to action.
Jun 5 2018Guerrero (leg) is in the lineup Tuesday for Double-A New Hampshire, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reportsGuerrero exited the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader after an awkward play at first base, but he appears to be just fine. He'll look to continue tearing it up at Double-A, as he's hitting an outstanding .409 with 11 home runs and 54 RBI through 51 games. Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported earlier Tuesday that the Blue Jays are considering promoting Guerrero to Triple-A within the next month.
Jun 2 2018Guerrero left Saturday's game with Double-A New Hampshire in the seventh inning after stepping on first base awkwardly, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.Fortunately, the team doesn't consider the injury to be a major concern, but the Fisher Cats understandably wanted to play it safe with the prized prospect, who was 1-for-4 with a run-scoring single prior to exiting the contest in the final frame. Consider Guerrero day-to-day until the Blue Jays update his status.
May 21 2018Guerrero went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a walkoff three-run home run for Double-A New Hampshire in its 6-5 win over Binghamton in Game 1 of a doubleheader. He added an RBI single and stolen base in the nightcap.Just when it seemed Guerrero couldn't possibly enhance his sterling resume any further, he added to his legend with another monster showing in the first game of the twin bill, highlighted by the clutch long ball in the final inning. Guerrero continues to pace the Eastern League in batting average (.421), OPS (1.169) and total bases (106), all while being exceptionally young for the circuit at 19 years and two months. In a bit of an upset, Guerrero wasn't the first 19-year-old to receive a promotion to the big leagues this season, as the Nationals brought up top prospect Juan Soto from Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday after injuries thinned Washington's outfield ranks. It may not be long before Guerrero joins Soto in the majors, as the third baseman has proven the Double-A level isn't a challenge for him.
May 15 2018Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI for Double-A New Hampshire in its 10-5 win over Hartford on Monday.Guerrero continues to build momentum for a promotion to the big club, with Monday's performance marking his third consecutive multi-hit effort. His average is now up to .405 for the season, which represents the second-best mark in the minors among players with at least 100 plate appearances. The 19-year-old, who has as many walks (13) as strikeouts this season, has meld his impressive contact and plate discipline with elite power production, as 20 of his 51 hits have gone for extra bases.
May 8 2018Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI for Double-A New Hampshire in its 10-2 win over Portland on Monday.Hours after showcasing his light-tower power while hitting an opposite-field home run off a tee in a segment for MLB Network, Guerrero kept slugging for the Double-A club, connecting on his fourth and fifth long balls of the season. It was the second multi-homer game of Guerrero's professional career, while the five RBI boosted his season total to an Eastern League-leading 35. Also pacing the circuit with a .398 average, Guerrero seems to have little left to prove in the minors, but service-time considerations could nonetheless delay the 19-year-old's promotion until the second half of the season, or even the 2019 campaign if the Blue Jays are well removed from playoff contention in the last couple months of the summer.
May 1 2018Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a triple, walk and two runs for Double-A New Hampshire in its 7-2 win over Reading on Monday.After setting the Midwest and Florida State Leagues ablaze as an 18-year-old in 2017, Guerrero entered the season as a clear top-five prospect in all of baseball due to his unmatched hit and power tools. Based on how Guerrero has performed since moving to New Hampshire this season, it appears safe to conclude that he'll be a consensus No. 1 for all prospect hounds once Ronald Acuna and Shohei Ohtani log enough at-bats and innings, respectively, in the majors to exhaust their eligibility. Guerrero has raised his long-term ceiling to even more ridiculous heights by supplying a 1.024 OPS and posting a 10:10 BB:K in 96 plate appearances at Double-A. The third baseman already looks like he might be capable of holding his own in the majors, but a promotion to the Blue Jays in 2018 may be contingent on the team staying in the thick of postseason contention.
Apr 26 2018Guerrero went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Wednesday's game for Double-A New Hampshire against Binghamton.Guerrero ranks sixth in the Eastern League in wRC+ (169), and everyone ahead of him is at least three years his senior. He has seven walks and seven strikeouts through 82 plate appearances, and appears to be in complete control against Double-A pitchers, despite the fact he is the youngest player at the level. He should earn a promotion to Triple-A in the coming months, and could make his MLB debut later this season, depending on how the team prioritizes team control, TV ratings (Rogers Media owns the Blue Jays), and competing for a Wild Card berth.
Apr 16 2018Guerrero was named the Eastern League Player of the Week on Monday.The 19-year-old is on a tear to start his first season at the Double-A level. Through nine games, he's hitting .361/.419/.639 with a pair of homers. He has more walks (five) than strikeouts (four), just as he did at both of his minor-league stops last season. If his hot start continues, he could be up at Triple-A before long, which an outside shot at a promotion to the big leagues at some point later this season.
Apr 10 2018Guerrero went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and a career-high six RBI for Double-A New Hampshire in its 11-1 win over Trenton on Monday.The Jays' top prospect has homered on back-to-back nights and is sitting on a .333/.417/.833 batting line through his first five games in the Eastern League, production that's rendered even more impressive by the fact he's been hitting in cold weather in the Northeast. Guerrero should eventually face some resistance at the Double-A level while he matches up against more advanced arms, but the 19-year-old's exceptional plate discipline may make him less vulnerable to the prolonged slumps most high-level power-hitting prospects often encounter.
Mar 26 2018Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro said Friday that Guerrero will open the 2018 season at Double-A New Hampshire, TSN.ca reports.He'll be joined in the Eastern League by Bo Bichette, giving New Hampshire the most highly regarded pair of hitting prospects of any affiliate across the minors. Guerrero offers the higher ceiling of the two players due to his exceptional hit tool and raw power, which should make him a bankable source of both batting average and home-run production from the corner infield once he reaches his peak. Before reporting to New Hampshire ahead of his second year of full-season ball, the 19-year-old is scheduled to appear in exhibition games Monday and Tuesday with the Blue Jays in Montreal, the old stomping grounds of his Hall-of-Fame father.
Mar 8 2018Guerrero will make his Grapefruit League debut Thursday against the Orioles. He'll serve as the Blue Jays' designated hitter and bat sixth.After decimating pitching at Low-A Lansing and High-A Dunedin last season to burnish his standing as one of baseball's top prospects at any level of the minors, Guerrero earned an invite to his first big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee. Since he's not under serious consideration for an Opening Day roster spot with Toronto, Guerrero has been limited to taking batting practice and playing in simulated games this spring, but he'll be thrust into Grapefruit League action Thursday with manager John Gibbons opting to give several key regulars the day off. In addition to Guerrero, Bo Bichette, another premier prospect in the Blue Jays' farm system, will also make his spring debut.
Sep 15 2017Guerrero wrapped up his first full-season campaign with a .323/.425/.485 slash line, 13 home runs, 76 RBI and 84 runs over 119 games combined at Low- and High-A.The third baseman backed up the enormous hype, raking his way through both, the Midwest and Florida State League. Although there's no need to look farther than Guerrero's surface stats to see his potential, it's worth noting that the 18-year-old managed more walks (76) than strikeouts (62) -- displaying rare plate discipline for a youngster -- during the 2017 campaign. The Jays' front office has made clear that rushing Guerrero through the system is not part of the plan, but that may change. Look for the club's top prospect to jump into MiLB's higher levels in 2018, with the notion of an MLB debut in 2019 being more than possible.
