Vladimir Guerrero of the Blue Jays recently underwent laser eye surgery, per MLB Trade Rumors, citing an announcement from the Laser Eye Center of Miami and confirmation from Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith. The exact timing of the procedure remains unclear—the Laser Eye Center posted about it during a post-op visit—though the reporting indicates it should not affect Guerrero's offseason or readiness for 2027.

The surgery comes after a difficult 2026 season for the Blue Jays' first baseman. Guerrero hit only 9 home runs this year, according to Yahoo Sports, a sharp drop from the 28-homer average he has maintained across his eight MLB seasons. The Blue Jays finished the year 79–83, in fifth place in the AL East, one game behind a winning record after winning their final game of the season, 5–1 over Cincinnati on September 27.

Vision correction has become a common offseason move among players seeking to regain form. Guerrero's decision to pursue the procedure signals an effort to address one factor that may have contributed to his power decline and overall struggles in what was by his standards a down year. The nature and specifics of the vision issue that prompted the surgery have not been disclosed by the team or the player.
