Jays prospect Guerrero returning to Double-A after injury

Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will return to Double-A New Hampshire on Thursday after rehab assignments with the team's Rookie League and high Class-A affiliates.

Guerrero suffered a strained patellar tendon in his left knee in early June. He was hitting .407 with 11 home runs and 55 RBIs at the time for New Hampshire.

Guerrero was 3-for-9 with two doubles for the Rookie League GCL Blue Jays and 2-for-4 with two RBIs for high Class-A Dunedin in a combined four rehab games.

The 19-year-old third baseman is the son of Vladimir Guerrero, who will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame later this month.
