LOS ANGELES >> Pedro Guerrero was transferred out of the intensive care unit of his Manhattan hospital Tuesday, one day after the former Dodgers slugger was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage.
According to a source in contact with his family, Guerrero is able to shake his head and squeeze his hand in response to commands, a marked improvement from the previous night.
Earlier reports that Guerrero awoke from a coma were contradicted by a friend of his family, who said he spoke directly with Guerrero’s wife, Roxanna. According to that friend, Guerrero is comatose and still faces surgery to relieve bleeding and pressure in his brain.
