Guerra

Guerra heads overseas to Japan after making 17 appearances (two starts) this past season between the Rays and Brewers, finishing with a bloated 6.05 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 14/22 K/BB ratio across 19 1/3 innings of work. The hard-throwing 28-year-old righty has made 61 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2019.

The 28-year-old minor leaguer had a 6.05 ERA in 19 1/3 innings with the Rays this season, but he’s had two straight years of success in Triple-A, posting a 4.14 ERA across 37 innings this year with 38 strikeouts and a 1.74 ERA across 41 1/3 innings in 2022 with 52 strikeouts. It’s very likely that another organization gives him a look this offseason.

The 27-year-old hurler had been designated for assignment earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and once again accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham. Guerra has registered a 4.09 ERA and a 9/13 K/BB ratio over 11 innings with the big league club this season.

Guerra has a 4.09 ERA in two stints with the Rays this year, but that’s come with a 9/13 K/BB ratio in 11 innings. He cleared waivers back in May. If he does so again this time around, he’ll be eligible to become a free agent.

Guerra has been brought back to the majors with the Rays jettisoning Elvin Rodriguez from their 40-man roster. The hard-throwing 27-year-old righty has pitched well this season in six appearances (three starts) at the big-league level.

Guerra has accepted the outright assignment, so he’ll remain with the Rays as extra organizational relief depth. He has a 6.75 ERA and a 9/18 K/BB ratio in 13 1/3 innings for the Brewers and Rays this season.

Guerra returned to the Rays’ organization in late April but was removed from the 40-man roster with Zack Littell taking his place. The 27-year-old had an atrocious 9/18 K/BB ratio and there’s a good chance that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed.

Expect the 27-year-old hurler to work around an inning or so in his return to the Rays before turning the ball over to Fleming to work the bulk innings. Guerra was acquired from the Brewers for a player to be named later on Saturday.

Who says you can’t go home? Guerra made 17 relief appearances last year for the Rays before being traded to the Brewers last November as part of a 40-man roster crunch. Tampa Bay saw an opportunity to bring him back after the 27-year-old righty was designated for assignment earlier this week by Milwaukee.

As part of a shakeup to the Brewers’ bullpen on Monday, Guerra loses his spot on the team’s 40-man roster. The 27-year-old hurler struggled to an 8.64 ERA, 2.28 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 5/9 K/BB ratio across 8 1/3 frames. There’s a good chance that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed.
