ST. PETERSBURG -- Everyone expects Toronto's prized prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to eventually reach Tropicana Field -- along with all the other Major League ballparks -- but his Monday visit to the Rays' home park was purely to check in with the Blue Jays as he settles into his Florida rehabilitation program.
Guerrero, the No. 2 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, suffered a strained patellar tendon in his left knee on Wednesday while playing with Double-A New Hampshire. He's expected to miss at least four weeks.
Before the Blue Jays met the Rays, Guerrero said he's optimistic about a quick return to action.
