He's gone a long time now without adjusting despite being thoroughly owned.
His bat needs to be elite, because he's a terrible fielder and baserunner.
It's early, but he needs to adjust soon.

He'll adjust, it might not happen for awhile, might not even happen this season and it doesn't need to, but it will happen.
One thing that this management team has failed at is giving these young players (Guerrero Jr., Biggio, Jansen, and eventually Bichette) support. The only established bats in this lineup are Galvis and Smoak and they are barely above replacement level.
They needed better bats so that these young players didn't need to carry the entire load offensively. Right now there is absolutely no reason to pitch to Guerrero Jr. or Biggio, because they are really the only threats in the lineup, so the game plan facing Toronto would be to avoid giving this two anything to hit.
