Virtually nothing can stop Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from slugging his way up the ranks and into the majors in the near future, but a leg injury may be enough to slow him down a bit.
During a day game with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Wednesday, Guerrero suffered an apparent leg injury and took himself out.
Guerrero was not running at 100% to first base on his infield single, then looked uncomfortable getting to 2B on a Biggio single.
He immediately signaled to the dugout that he needed to leave the game. #BlueJays

If you want to know just how much fans have enjoyed watching the 19-year-old play this year, look no further than the fact that people immediately began offering their own healthy legs to Guerrero.
So many of you are using my mentions to offer your healthy legs to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Your slender legs wouldn't support that man, you fools. It takes a special body. A special width. A special depth.

Guerrero, the son of soon-to-be Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, is hitting over .400 in Double-A this season and has been absolutely destroying the ball. A report earlier this week indicated that the Toronto Blue Jays are considering promoting him to Triple-A within the next month, but we’ll have to see how serious the injury is to know if that timeline will hold true.
