Junior Guerra News
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that relief pitcher Junior Guerra has arrived to work out with the team at Chase Field on Wednesday. Guerra tested positive for COVID-19 but has already returned two negatives within 24 hours and is being allowed to return to action with his teammates. The 35-year-old veteran righty is expected to serve as one of the primary setup men, along with Andrew Chafin and Hector Rondon, ahead of closer Archie Bradley this year. Guerra has started 60 games in his five-year career, but he's expected to pitch out of the 'pen in Arizona. He had a 3.55 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 77 K's and 36 walks in 83 2/3 relief innings in 2019 with Milwaukee. Guerra might not even be the next man up for saves in Arizona if Bradley is injured or demoted from the closer's role. You can ignore him for now in most mixed leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Junior Guerra has been activated from the disabled list and will start on Tuesday against the Nationals. He's been out since July 13 with a forearm injury. Guerra has pitched to a 6-6 record on the season with a 3.23 ERA and a 96/29 K/BB ratio. Guerra has looked sharp in 2018 and is worthy of streaming on Tuesday as well as a pickup in season-long leagues.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (hamstring) and starting pitcher Junior Guerra (forearm) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday ahead of their doubleheader. Infielder Nate Orf has been recalled from Triple-A and starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) has been activated from the DL in corresponding moves. Thames and Guerra were both injured Friday night. Thames' injury is believed to be minor, so they're giving him a little extra rest with the All-Star break next week. He remains useful in deep mixed and NL-only leagues for his power. Guerra has been good overall this year (3.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 8.8 K/9), but he allowed six earned runs in just four innings against Pittsburgh on Friday night. Perhaps it had to do with his injury. It's unclear how much time he'll need to miss or how severe his injury is. Suter will start the second game of the doubleheader against the Pirates on Saturday, but he's a risky fantasy streamer in his first start back off the DL.
