/ STAFF WRITER

LOS ANGELES -- Pedro Guerrero awoke from a coma Tuesday and was able to breathe on his own, a marked improvement one day after the former Dodgers slugger was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage.

According to a source in contact with his family, Guerrero was still not talking but was able to shake his head in response to commands. He was transferred out of the intensive care unit of Manhattan’s Lenox Hill Hospital, where he is under the care of Dr. Rafael Ortiz. Ortiz is the same physician who cared for Guerrero when he suffered a stroke in Feb.
