Atlanta signed Guerra to a minor-league contract Jan. 2.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra last pitched in the big leagues in 2023, having spent the previous two seasons in Japan. The 30-year-old former shortstop has an ugly 6.43 ERA and 45:43 K:BB across 63 innings at the major-league level.

The Rays designated Guerra for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra's latest stint with the Rays lasted just under two weeks, with the right-hander making a trio of two-inning relief appearances during that stretch and allowing three earned runs on three hits and four walks. The Rays called up Calvin Faucher from Triple-A Durham to replace Guerra in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster. Guerra will now be exposed to waivers but could remain in the Tampa Bay organization if he goes unclaimed.

Guerra's contract was selected by the Rays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra pitched his way off the 40-man roster in mid-May but went unclaimed and remained in the Rays' organization. He owns a 6.75 ERA in 13.1 innings of relief at the big-league level this season, striking out nine batters while walking 18. His 5.94 ERA at the Triple-A level doesn't inspire confidence either. Elvin Rodriguez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Tampa Bay outrighted Guerra to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment Sunday. The 27-year-old reliever could have elected free agency but will instead remain part of the Rays organization for the time being.

Tampa Bay designated Guerra for assignment Sunday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra is removed from the 26- and 40-man roster to make room for Zack Littell, with Littell officially joining the Rays on Sunday. After being acquired by the Rays from the Brewers at the start of May, Guerra allowed two runs over five innings in six appearances for a 3.60 ERA, but he walked nine hitters against four strikeouts as command continues to be an issue for the right-handed reliever.

Guerra will operate as the Rays' opening pitcher for Sunday's matchup with the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being acquired via trade from the Brewers on April 29, Guerra served as the team's opener Tuesday versus the Pirates, walking two batters while pitching two-thirds scoreless to begin the contest. He'll now look to make it two straight scoreless outings since returning to Tampa Bay prior to handing the ball off to Josh Fleming as the Rays go for the series win Sunday. Guerra owns an 8.00 ERA and 2.33 WHIP with five strikeouts over nine innings in nine appearances this season with the Brewers and Rays, though his numbers are inflated by the five runs he allowed to the Pirates over 1.2 innings on April 23.

Guerra will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra is beginning his second stint with the Rays after he appeared in 17 games for the big club in 2022 before being dealt to Milwaukee in November. The right-hander turned in an 8.64 ERA and 2.28 WHIP in 8.1 innings over his eight relief outings with the Brewers before Tampa Bay re-acquired him Saturday. Guerra maxed out at two innings and 44 pitches during his time with Milwaukee, so he likely won't be asked to work more than once through the batting order Tuesday before turning the game over to bulk reliever Josh Fleming.

The Rays will add Guerra to their 26-man roster Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was acquired from the Brewers on Saturday and will officially join his new team ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the White Sox. He finished last season with Tampa Bay before being dealt to Milwaukee during the offseason. Guerra surrendered eight runs on 10 hits with a 5:9 K:BB across 8.1 innings with the Brewers this season, and he should fill a low-leverage role for the Rays.

Guerra was traded from the Brewers to the Rays on Saturday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra had been designated for assignment by Milwaukee earlier this week after allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits and nine walks through 8.1 innings to begin the 2023 campaign. The 27-year-old reliever spent a portion of the 2022 season with Tampa Bay and posted a 3.38 ERA across 16 frames.

The Brewers designated Guerra for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Guerra held an 8.64 ERA and 5:9 K:BB over 8.1 innings to earn a ticket off the 40-man roster. The former position player has a big arm but hasn't been able to find consistency since converting to pitching.
