Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: Will begin rehab at High-A
Guerrero (oblique) will begin his rehab assignment at High-A Dunedin on Thursday before eventually reporting to Triple-A Buffalo, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.
Guerrero has remained at extended spring training since being diagnosed March 10 with a left oblique strain and looks like he's ready to test out his health in an uncontrolled game setting after hitting no snags in the recovery process. Since Dunedin doubles as the site of the Blue Jays' spring complex, it's no surprise the organization has chosen to keep Guerrero local as he embarks on the rehab assignment. Because he missed most of the Grapefruit League schedule with the injury, Guerrero will likely stick around in the Florida State League for several games prior to moving on to Buffalo. Once back at Triple-A, baseball's top prospect may not have to wait long for his much-anticipated promotion to the big leagues. According to Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan, Guerrero will play 5-to-7 innings with Dunedin on Thursday before being reevaluated.
