Giant first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (24, Toronto) will miss the World Baseball Classic (WBC) due to a knee injury. The Dominican Republic, which was aiming for the championship, met bad news.
On the 5th (Korean time), MLB.com, the official website of the major leagues, said, “As a result of Guerrero’s MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan, minor inflammation was found in his right knee. There is no structural damage, but in terms of player protection, Toronto has decided to watch Guerrero’s condition.” Guerrero felt pain in his right knee while running from first base to second base in the second inning in an exhibition game against Tampa Bay on the 4th, and was replaced during the defense in the third inning.토토사이트
Guerrero debuted in 2019 and recorded a batting average of 0.284, 547 hits, 104 home runs, 310 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.862 in 504 games in four major league seasons. Last year, he played 160 games and recorded a batting average of 0.274, 175 hits, 32 home runs, 97 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.818.
Guerrero was scheduled to join the Dominican Republic national team on the 6th, but was unable to participate due to injury. Now, attention is focused on a new card to fill Guerrero’s void.
