Sluggish spring performance Gurriel has gone 7-for-29 (.241) with a double, a home run and a 0:8 BB:K through 11 Grapefruit League games.

Impact The 27-year-old hasn't caught fire yet this spring, but there's little cause for concern. Gurriel heads into 2021 with a career .287/.327/.508 slash line, 42 homers and 118 RBI in 206 big-league games, and the left fielder figures to be a key part of a young Jays lineup this season.

Gurriel, a converted middle infielder, had an .882 OPS with 11 homers in 57 games during 2020 and should continue seeing the bulk of his time in left field.
