Blasts three homers Guerrero went 3-for-4 with three home runs and seven total RBI during Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Guerrero did something his father never accomplished during his stellar 16-year career and had arguably the best game of his young career. He belted a grand slam in the third inning and a solo homer in the fifth before capping things off with a two-run shot in the seventh -- the first two were off Max Scherzer. Guerrero also became the fourth player to smash three grand slams before turning 23 years old in MLB history, joining a list that also includes Ozzie Albies, Giancarlo Stanton and Albert Pujols, and he is also the youngest to record three homers and seven RBI in a single game since 1901.

Third-year breakout continues Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, a run and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.

Impact After reaching base four times, Guerrero's on-base average now sits at a robust .513, tops among all players with at least 50 plate appearances this season. Guerrero has paired elite plate discipline with improved power early on, as his .267 ISO is 67 points above his 2020 mark. Fantasy managers that drafted the 22-year-old in anticipation of a potential third-year breakout are more than satisfied with Guerrero's early returns.

Belts fourth homer Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Impact He walked and scored another run in the nightcap, but it was his sixth-inning blast off Mike Minor that was the highlight of Guerrero's day. The 22-year-old appears headed for his long-awaited breakout campaign, and through 15 games he's slashing a dazzling .412/.524/.706 with four homers and 11 RBI.

Crushes monster home run Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

Impact The right-handed hitter smoked a solo shot off Kyle Zimmer in the seventh inning, launching the ball a whopping 456 feet. It was the third of the year for the prodigal 22-year-old, who is currently slashing .413/.526/.674 in 2021.

Collects three RBI Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and a run scored Saturday in a victory over the Angels.

Impact Guerrero was one of a trio of Blue Jays hitters to drive in at least three runs in the blowout win. It was the second time in the last three days that the young star finished with three runs batted in, and his eight total RBI this season are tied with Randal Grichuk for the top mark on the club. Guerrero is off to a hot start to the campaign, slashing .379/.538/.621 with a pair of homers and an 8:6 BB:K.

Blasts homer, drives in three Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Impact The 22-year-old smacked a homer off Griffin Canning in the first inning. The right-handed hitter will have a lot of eyes on him, as many analysts are projecting a breakout season. So far, so good, as he's blasted a pair of homers and driven in five runs with a .348/.483/.652 slash line to open the season.

Hits first double of season Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Texas.

Impact The righty slugger is off to a strong start, hitting .316 through 19 at-bats as the five-hole hitter. He's done well despite the struggles of Teoscar Hernandez and Lourdes Gurriel, both of whom have been slumping ahead of him in the order. Slimmer than he was a year ago, Guerrero appears to be benefiting from a more contact-based approach at the plate, and the move to first base has allowed him to focus more on his swing and less on fielding at the hot corner. This could be the year he puts it all together at the plate.

Goes deep against Yankees Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

Impact Guerrero has hit safely in his three games to date, but this one was his most impactful performance since he went deep for the first time in 2021. The slugging infielder has scratched the surface of his potential in his first two years in the majors, but he seems primed to take a huge leap forward in 2021.

On base three times Thursday Guerrero went 1-for-2 with two walks in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

Impact Hitting fifth in the Jays' Opening Day lineup, Guerrero smoked a single in the second inning that left his bat at 114.1 mph -- per MLB.com, that's the highest exit velocity on a base hit given up by Gerrit Cole since Statcast began tracking the category. If Guerrero can also maintain the improvements in his launch angle he showed this spring while slashing .421/.511/.737 through 47 plate appearances, the 22-year-old could become one of the breakout stars of 2021.

Scorching spring continues Guerrero crushed a double with an exit velocity of 110 mph during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's far from the first time this spring the 22-year-old reached triple digits in exit velocity. Guerrero has erupted for a .520/.613/.840 slash line this spring over 12 games with five extra-base hits (three doubles, a triple and a homer) and a stellar 6:2 BB:K. Perhaps more importantly, he's shown an improved launch angle when he has made hard contact, which has been viewed as the key to him unlocking his full potential at the plate. It's taken a couple of years, but Guerrero seems poised to start matching his massive minor-league numbers in the majors.
