Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said his back feels better after the All-Star break but pledged to maintain treatment and recovery work. The Toronto Blue Jays first baseman spoke through a translator after several days off.
“It feels better right now, but I’m not going to stop doing all my treatment, rehab, recovery,” Guerrero said. ” Forbes reported that the 27-year-old franchise cornerstone has played through the lingering injury all season. His offensive numbers have fallen below expectations, and the update comes as the Blue Jays face an uphill climb in the American League playoff race.
