Vladimir Guerrero was set to join the Class-A Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League on Sunday.
It will be the slugger's first league play since he signed with Toronto two weeks ago.
"He'll be in the lineup (Sunday). They have an off-day (Monday), so he'll be back (in extended spring training) for the day, then back with Dunedin," Jays manager John Farrell said.
If all goes well, Guerrero should join Double-A New Hampshire or even Triple-A Las Vegas by the end of the week, Farrell said.

The Blue Jays have accused a former top executive of breaking a confidentiality agreement by discussing the team's financial and attendance records with the media after he was fired.
The claim was made against Patrick Elster, Toronto's former vice president of ticket sales in court documents, in a lawsuit filed in Ontario Superior Court.
Elster is suing the Blue Jays for $135,000 for breaching the terms of his severance agreement. He worked for the team from December 2003 until June 9, 2008.
A day after his firing, he agreed to a severance agreement with the Blue Jays. The wording of the agreement promises to play a pivotal role in his legal claim.
It's unclear why the Blue Jays fired Elster.
