It’s been a tough week for Toronto Blue Jays fans, as the team’s star prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been diagnosed with right knee inflammation. The news came as a surprise to many, as Guerrero Jr. had been playing at an elite level since being called up to the major leagues in April.
The 19-year-old third baseman has been a bright spot for the Blue Jays this season, batting .272 with 8 home runs and 33 RBIs in his first 58 games. He had been a key contributor to the team’s success, and his absence will be felt.
The Blue Jays have not yet provided a timeline for Guerrero Jr.’s return, but they have said that he is day-to-day. The team is taking a cautious approach with their young star and will likely take all the necessary steps to ensure he is healthy before returning to the field.
In the meantime, the Blue Jays will have to rely on other players to fill the void left by Guerrero Jr. They have some talented players in their lineup, but it will be difficult to replace the production of one of the best young hitters in baseball.
It’s a tough situation for Toronto Blue Jays fans, but they can take solace in the fact that Guerrero Jr. is expected to make a full recovery. He is one of the most exciting players in baseball and his return will be a welcome sight for all baseball fans. Until then, the Blue Jays will have to make do without him and hope that he can make a speedy recovery.
