Vladimir Guerrero Jr. undergoes laser eye surgery for vision improvement
Summary

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has reportedly undergone laser eye surgery following a disappointing 2026 season. The procedure aims to enhance his vision and help him recover from a year where he hit only 9 home runs and struggled with injuries, including concussion issues. Guerrero's performance has significantly declined since his near-MVP season in 2021, where he posted 48 home runs and 121 RBIs. He has averaged 28 home runs in the years since but fell short this season with a.260 batting average. Guerrero hopes that this corrective surgery will lead to an improvement in his numbers and return to form next season.
