Earlier on Thursday, Guerrero Jr. took part in a rehab start for the Dunedin Blue Jays, recording an impressive performance: 1-for-1, an RBI double, a run scored, and two walks. This positive outcome was shared on social media by the Dunedin Blue Jays on August 20th.\n\nManager John Schneider announced that Guerrero Jr. will serve as the designated hitter for the low-A Dunedin team playing in Clearwater tonight.
