Guerrieri was released by the Mariners on Friday, Triple-A Tacoma broadcaster Mike Curto reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri signed a minor-league deal with Seattle in February and has been at Triple-A all season, but he'll now hit the open market. The 28-year-old has a 4.61 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 27.1 innings this season, though he has a 2.51 ERA in his last 12 outings.

Guerrieri was optioned to the team's minor-league camp Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri was with the team as a non-roster invitee and was unable to claim a role in the team's bullpen. He last pitched in the big leagues in 2019, posting a 5.81 ERA and 1.82 WHIP with a 27:22 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

The Mariners signed Guerrieri to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to MLB spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri didn't pitch in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor-league season, but he made 29 relief appearances in MLB between the Blue Jays and Rangers across the prior two seasons, logging a 5.50 ERA and 8.7 K/9 over 36 innings. The right-hander will get the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Mariners' Opening Day bullpen, but he's more likely to begin the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma.

Guerrieri (neck) was assigned to minor league camp, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri has been limited to one spring appearance due to the next discomfort. He's expected to return in time to pitch in Cactus League games. Manager Chris Woodward lauded the 27-year-old last week when he said Guerrieri had the best curveball in baseball. "He's got an elite pitch, and I told him that," Woodward said. "He's worked really hard to shape it better and land it for strikes better. I have a feeling he is going to help us this year."

Guerrieri has been shut down for a few days due to a sore neck, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In theory, Guerreri is attempting to win a spot in the Rangers' bullpen, but it's a long shot bid. The 27-year-old was bounced from Texas' 40-man roster during the offseason and is expected to work out of the bullpen at Triple-A Nashville.

Guerrieri cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri posted a 5.81 ERA in 26.1 innings for the Rangers last season. His 22.0 percent strikeout rate was respectable, but his 17.9 percent walk rate was quite poor.

Guerrieri was designated for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers needed to clear some 40-man roster spots to protect prospects from the Rule 5 draft, and Guerrieri was a casualty. Once a top prospect in the Rays organization, the 26-year-old righty logged a 5.81 ERA in 26.1 innings as a reliever last season.

Guerrieri had his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri has posted a 3.47 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with a 39:15 K:BB over 36.1 innings this season with the Sounds, earning him a shot in the major leagues. He's been used as a starter in two games this season while in the minors, but he figures to be deployed as a reliever while with the Rangers.

Guerrieri was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Guerrieri has struggled with the Bisons this season, posting a 5.18 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 57.1 innings. The 25-year-old will join the Blue Jays for his first stint in the majors, hoping he can find the pedigree that got him drafted in the first round back in 2011.

Guerrieri was placed on the minor-league disabled list with an undisclosed injury Saturday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays will be looking for a spot starter with both Aaron Sanchez (finger) and Jaime Garcia (shoulder) hitting the disabled list, but Guerrieri won't be that guy. He wasn't a particularly likely candidate when healthy, as he has a 4.74 ERA in 43.2 innings for Triple-A Buffalo this season.
