White Sox's Tayron Guerrero: Included in 60-man pool
Rotowire
The White Sox announced Monday that Guerrero will be included as part of the team's 60-man roster pool.
The hard-throwing reliever has posted some solid strikeout rates during stints in the majors the past two years with the Marlins, but poor control and command have hindered his overall effectiveness. Though the expanded roster will allow Guerrero to stick around with the White Sox in 2020, expect most of his use to be limited to lower-leverage spots.

White Sox's Tayron Guerrero: Lands with White Sox
Rotowire
The White Sox claimed Guerrero off waivers from the Marlins on Friday.
Guerrero averaged 99 mph on his fastball last season, but he did not have much of a clue where it was going as evidenced by a 16.7 percent walk rate. Command and control have always been problems for the 6-foot-8 Guerrero, who turns 29 next month, and the Marlins gave up hope. The right-hander will compete for a bullpen role in spring training.

Rotowire

The right-hander landed on the injured list Aug. 8 with what was described as a torn fingernail but may have been a reoccurrence of blister issues that plagued him earlier in the year.

Marlins' Tayron Guerrero: Lands on IL
Rotowire

The move is retroactive to Thursday, meaning Guerrero will be eligible to return for the Marlins' final game before the All-Star break, should he prove ready.

Marlins' Tayron Guerrero: Control issues continue
Rotowire
Guerrero has posted a 6.00 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 5:9 K:BB through nine innings in June.
Those K:BB numbers aren't accidentally reversed. The right-hander has walked a batter an inning in June after a brutal outing Wednesday in which he issued four free passes, and he's also hit two batters and uncorked two wild pitches on the month. Guerrero's triple-digit fastball will keep him in the Marlins' bullpen plans for now, but don't expect him to get many high-leverage chances until he can learn to harness it consistently.

Rotowire
