Guerrero’s postseason power surge feels less like a hot streak and more like a suspension of reality. He opened the scoring with his third homer in as many games — a gargantuan 427-foot moonshot to left field off Yankees starter Carlos Rodón in the first inning. He also drew an international walk and motored around to score on Ernie Clement’s third-inning single as Toronto raced out to an early lead before New York eventually rallied to stave off elimination.

The Jays had already carved out a 5-0 lead through the first three frames when Guerrero put it completely out of reach with his 415-foot (110.7 mph EV) grand slam off of Will Warren in the fourth. The 26-year-old slugger also singled twice in the ballgame and scored a pair of runs, finishing the ballgame 3-for-5. The Jays will now head to New York just one win away from securing their spot in the American League Championship Series.

The 26-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the home half of the first inning, crushing a 2-1 changeup from Luis Gil for a 367-foot (101.2 mph EV) solo shot that gave the Jays an early 1-0 lead that they’d never relinquish. He also added on with a sacrifice fly during a four-run uprising in the seventh inning and a single in the eighth inning. The Jays will now look to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series on Saturday against Yankees’ southpaw Max Fried.

Guerrero was tossed for arguing balls and strikes after going down looking in the seventh inning. He finished 0-for-3 and departed with Toronto trailing by four runs at the time in a pivotal showdown with playoff implications. Not great.

Guerrero has been an on-base machine lately. He never recorded an out in this game and has a .548 on-base percentage over his last seven games. His first hit helped push across the Blue Jays’ first run — and it was absolutely scorched at 115 mph — while his last hit brought home their final one. He’s approaching a robust .900 OPS in another outstanding season, despite an extremely slow start to the year.

Guerrero’s two-out single in the first inning started a three-run rally that more or less put the Yankees away early. He tacked on a solo home run – his 23rd of the season – in the fifth as the Jays began to finally break this game open and eventually run away with it. His .298 batting average is seventh-highest in the league and .888 OPS is tenth in what’s been another fantastic season.

It’s the third time this season that he’s scored three runs.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI on Monday night against the Twins in his return to Toronto’s lineup following a five-game absence recovering from hamstring inflammation. The 26-year-old slugger will likely be limited to DH for at least a couple additional contests out of an abundance of caution.

Guerrero missed five starts with a hamstring issue. That he’s DHing tonight means that George Springer is playing the outfield for the first time since coming off the injured list nine days ago. It also means Addison Barger, who has mostly played right field of late, is out of the lineup for a second straight day. Ty France remains in there at first base.

It was the first time that Guerrero had appeared in a game since being pulled from Monday’s contest with inflammation in his hamstring. He was then replaced when the Jays took the field the following frame. Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider told reporters after the game though that the 26-year-old slugger is expected to return to the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Twins.

There’s zero incentive for the Blue Jays to take any chances by rushing their primary offensive catalyst back too quickly from a hamstring injury that he suffered earlier this week. The 26-year-old generational talent was able to run the bases and take on-field batting practice earlier this weekend, which seems to suggest he’s close to making it back to the lineup. It’ll be Ty France taking over at the cold corner once again in his absence. There should be a definitive update on his status heading into Monday’s series opener against Minnesota.

Guerrero remains in a holding pattern for the moment as he’s been held out of action since suffering a hamstring injury during Monday’s game against the Pirates. The 26-year-old generational talent underwent a precautionary MRI that didn’t reveal any structural damage. He’s dealing with some lingering inflammation and is presumably day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale in Miami. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he’s not progressing well heading into next week. He was able to do some running and take on-field batting practice prior to Friday’s series opener. It’ll be Ty France continuing to handle the cold corner in his absence.

Guerrero remains on the bench for the third consecutive contest due to left hamstring inflammation. The 26-year-old power-hitting first baseman is presumably day-to-day since a precautionary MRI earlier this week didn’t reveal any structural damage. It’ll be Ty France continuing to hold down the cold corner during his absence. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status heading into the weekend.

Guerrero was feeling better last night after leaving Monday’s game, but the Jays still thought it made sense to give him three days of rest, including the off day Thursday. Ty France is playing first base today.

Schneider added that Guerrero underwent a precautionary MRI that reveled only inflammation, not a strain, following an early exit from Monday’s series opener in Pittsburgh with left hamstring tightness. It certainly sounds like there’s optimism he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list and return to Toronto’s lineup in a couple days, if not sooner. It’ll be Ty France handling the cold corner on Tuesday night in his absence.

Guerrero will undergo precautionary imaging to rule out anything serious after being removed from Monday’s series opener against the Pirates with left hamstring tightness. The 26-year-old suffered the injury while making a phenomenal defensive play at the cold corner when he went into a full split to dig out a low throw. There should be a definitive update on his status ahead of Tuesday’s showdown. There’s no reason for fantasy managers to panic, but it’s a situation worth monitoring closely.

Guerrero was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning after going 0-for-2 with an RBI. He also made a phenomenal defensive play at first base, extending into a full split to dig out a short hop throw. It’s possible he hurt himself on that specific play. He’ll presumably head for further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the ailment. There should be an update from the Blue Jays following the contest.
