Guerra cleared waivers Tuesday and opted for free agency, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. The veteran righty enters the open market after being designated for assignment Sunday. His 16.50 ERA in six big-league innings this season is alarming, but Guerra was an effective, middle-inning reliever as recently as 2020 and could latch on with a team in need of veteran bullpen depth.

The Nationals designated Guerra for assignment Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Guerra's latest stint with the Nationals is over after he posted a 16.50 ERA and 2.50 WHIP in six innings of relief work this month. Despite being an experienced veteran arm, he's unlikely to attract much attention on waivers given his terrible results of late. Austin Voth (COVID-19) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move Sunday.

Guerra was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports. Guerra has spent time in the big leagues across 10 previous seasons, but this will mark the veteran right-hander's first trip to the majors in 2021. Guerra most recently posted a 4.02 ERA across 15.2 innings with Washington during the shortened 2020 campaign. With former closer Brad Hand having been dealt to Toronto and the Nationals dealing with injuries in their bullpen, the possibility of Guerra receiving some high-leverage innings isn't out of the question.

Guerra was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Guerra made six relief appearances this spring but was unable to break camp with the team after he posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in six innings. He'll likely begin the season with Triple-A Rochester but should be one of the top options to fill in if the Nationals' bullpen faces injuries.

Guerra (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Guerra missed the final month of last season with a hamstring strain. He faced a slight delay to start camp this year due to the birth of his second child, but he's since arrived and is going through a normal throwing progression, so the hamstring issue doesn't seem to be lingering.
