Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left oblique and is expected to miss at least three weeks prior to resuming game activity, the club announced Sunday.
Guerrero sustained the injury during the Blue Jays' spring training contest against Pittsburgh on Friday, March 8.
The 19-year-old has made six spring training appearances for Toronto this year. He's posted a slash line of .211/.250/.316 in 19 at-bats.
Guerrero, the son of Hall of Fame outfielder Vladimir Guerrero, is believed to be on the precipice of making his major league debut.
