This season has been good for Guerrero, with a .294 average so far and five home runs. The team scores a lot of runs with him, especially in big games like tonight's. The Athletics' pitching has been subpar this year, so the fans would like to see Guerrero hit well if he gets fit. Team physios are watching him very closely to verify if he is in good condition to play. If he does play, he will be vital to the Blue Jays in winning the opening game of the series.

Blue Jays’ lineup adjustments and team outlookWith Bo Bichette out, the Blue Jays moved Daulton Varsho to the leadoff spot and Anthony Santander to second, right before Guerrero. Sportsnet's Shi Davidi reported this change to keep the team strong. Manager John Schneider said these moves weren't planned but are needed to win games. At a record of 13-13, the Blue Jays are trying to get into the playoffs.

Guerrero's hitting makes a big difference, as his three-run homer against the Red Sox. If he can't play, players like George Springer or Kevin Gausman will need to do more. The Blue Jays want to beat the Athletics in this series, and Guerrero could make a big difference. Fans are waiting for updates, hoping their star will be ready to play and help the team win.
