For most players, when you get injured and have to miss some time on the disabled list, it can be a bit of an adjustment trying to jump back into a professional baseball lineup. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. isn’t most players.
Guerrero entered Monday night’s contest with a ridiculous slash line of .408/.457/.657 with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and he added to that total in style with his 12th home run of the season. It also brought his RBI total to 58 in just 57 games played at the level. Have a look for yourself, courtesy of @gideonturk:
His production before getting hurt in June was bordering on criminal, as he punished Double-A pitchers on a daily basis and left fans wondering when his inevitable promotion would take place.
