Considering Guerrero Jr. doesn't turn 25 until the offseason, he'll have more chances to add onto that resume before the end of the season. One of the more accomplished young hitters in the game, he's a lifetime .280 hitter with 130 homers and 404 RBI.

He's looking to help lead the Jays to the playoffs for the second consecutive season and for the third time in four years.

Toronto is currently 87-69 and in sole possession of the second wild card spot in the American League. They lead the Seattle Mariners by 2.5 games, who are the first team on the outside looking in.

The Blue Jays will play again on Tuesday against the New York Yankees. First pitch from Rogers Centre is 7:07 p.m. ET.
