Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Gets an Interesting Surgery After His Disappointing Year

The Blue Jays star had LASIK after batting .260 with nine home runs and a career-low .688 OPS in 2026, the team said.

  • Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. recently underwent successful laser eye surgery performed by Dr. Gabriel Lazcano in Miami, Fla., following a challenging 2026 season.
  • Struggling through a difficult year, Guerrero batted just.260 with nine home runs over 144 games, while his.688 OPS and 90 OPS+ indicated his offensive production was 10% below league average.
  • Financially, the six-time MLB All-Star earned $40.3 million in the first year of his 14-year, $500 million contract, though the Blue Jays went 79-83 and missed the playoffs despite his 1.1 bWAR defensive performance.
  • Critics previously scrutinized Guerrero's pitch selection and recent remarks, for which he issued an apology last month, but he now hopes the corrective vision procedure will improve his performance next season.
  • Guerrero retains the talent to return to his former home run-leading status, though success remains contingent on his recovery and whether he can regain offensive consistency moving forward.
