Connects for late homer Gurriel went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Angels.

Impact Gurriel, who had entered the game for left fielder Corey Dickerson (back) in the fifth inning, took Raisel Iglesias deep to left field in the ninth inning to round out the scoring. It was the second straight game with a homer for Gurriel, who has put together a 5-for-9 stretch with five RBI over his last three contests. He'll continue to maintain regular at-bats going forward, particularly if Dickerson's injury keeps him out of the outfield/designated hitter rotation for any length of time.

Posts two XBH in win Gurriel went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run Wednesday in the Blue Jays' 10-2 win over the Angels.

Impact After the excellent night at the dish, Gurriel is now slashing .333/.379/.667 through eight games in August. Though his .731 OPS is more than 150 points below his mark from 2020, Gurriel's solid start to August should help him hold off Corey Dickerson for reps in left field or at designated hitter.

Plates two runs in nightcap Gurriel went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Impact Gurriel didn't feature in the first half of the twin bill after going hitless in three of his previous four games, and that streak seemed poised to continue until the sixth inning when he plated two runs off reliever Jose Quijada to score both Bo Bichette and Teoscar Hernandez. The outfielder has been struggling at the plate of late, and he has just seven hits over his last 31 at-bats. He's slashing .242/.317/.396 since the beginning of July.

Resting Monday Gurriel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Gurriel shook off a minor elbow injury to start in all three games of the Blue Jays' series with the Royals over the weekend, going 2-for-9 with a pair of walks across those contests. The 27-year-old isn't believed to have experienced any sort of setback with the injury, so he's presumably just getting some routine maintenance Monday. Bo Bichette will serve as Toronto's designated hitter against Cleveland, paving the way for George Springer, Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez to fill out the outfield.
