As the Blue Jays finish up their exhibition schedule in Montreal ahead of their 2019 Opener on Thursday against the Tigers, manager Charlie Montoyo shared and update that could be big news for Bisons fans.
Toronto's new skipper told media members on Tuesday that top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was ahead of schedule in his recovery from an oblique injury that has sidelined him this Spring, and when he is ready to play, the plan now is to send the game's top prospect to Buffalo.
Guerrero has advanced to doing cage work in his return to play program at the team's Spring Training facility and some extra time in Florida may still be needed to get the slugger ready for game action. Montoyo did not give an exact timeline of when he would report to the Bisons or any team in the Blue Jays system.
Tweet from @Wilnerness590: Montoyo says that Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. is ahead of schedule, doing cage work. He added that when Guerrero is ready to play, he will go straight to Buffalo. There had been a thought that he may go level by level, or stay in the good weather in Florida. #Bluejays #Bisons
