The Red Sox released Gutierrez on Sunday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. Gutierrez will be seeking a new organization for the fifth time in less than a year. After concluding the 2023 season with the Reds, Gutierrez elected free agency in the offseason before joining the Marlins on a one-year deal in February. He was then designated for assignment in April and claimed off waivers by the Brewers, then DFA'd again later that month before landing in Boston. Gutierrez never made any appearances with Boston before he was designated for assignment earlier this month and outrighted to Triple-A Worcester, with whom he compiled a 9.00 ERA and 2.75 WHIP over eight innings prior to being cut loose.

Gutierrez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports. Gutierrez had the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but he decided not to do so and will remain in the Red Sox organization. The right-hander will likely slide into a starting role for Worcester.

The Red Sox designated Gutierrez for assignment Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. Gutierrez will lose his spot on the 40-man roster to create space for Dominic Smith, who signed a major-league deal with the Red Sox on Wednesday. The 28-year-old righty owns a 9.28 ERA and 2.16 WHIP across 10.2 innings in Triple-A this season, and he will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

Gutierrez was traded from Milwaukee to Boston in exchange for cash considerations, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Gutierrez was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Wednesday, though it didn't take him long to land with his third club since the season began. He'll start his Red Sox tenure with Triple-A Worcester, though he's likely to contribute as a long reliever or spot starter for the big-league club at some point in 2024.

The Brewers designated Gutierrez for assignment Wednesday. After being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays earlier this month, Gutierrez will end his time on the Brewers' 40-man roster without having made an appearance for the big club. Milwaukee will replace him on the 40-man roster with right-hander Tobias Myers, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Wednesday's game against the Padres. Gutierrez had made two appearances (one start) with Nashville and will stick around with the affiliate if he clears waivers.
