Becomes free agent Guerra cleared waivers Tuesday and opted for free agency, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact 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.

DFA'd Sunday The Nationals designated Guerra for assignment Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact 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.

Recalled by Nationals Guerra was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

Impact 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 recently being traded to Toronto, and the Nationals still dealing with other injuries in their bullpen, the possibility of Guerra receiving some high-leverage innings in the future isn't out of the question.

Heads to free agency Guerra (hamstring) cleared waivers Monday and elected free agency, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran exercised his right to refuse an outright assignment to the minors and will try his luck on the open market instead. Whether or not the 34-year-old's 4.84 ERA over the last three seasons is enough to earn him a major-league deal this winter remains to be seen. His decent 4.02 ERA in 15.2 innings this season, a campaign which was cut short by a hamstring strain, came with a 1.66 WHIP.

Lands on injured list Guerra was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 34-year-old sustained the injury during Tuesday's contest as he delivered 14 of his 30 pitches for strikes over 1.2 scoreless innings. Guerra will be eligible to be activated Sept. 12, but it's unclear when he's expected to return from the injured list.

Suffers hamstring injury Manager Dave Martinez said Guerra's hamstring "grabbed him pretty good" during his appearance Tuesday against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martinez indicated the injury occurred on the right-hander's final pitch, but he struggled with his control throughout the appearance, throwing only 14 of his 30 pitches for strikes. He had two strikeouts and three walks over 1.2 scoreless innings without giving up a hit. Guerra wasn't provided a timeline for his return and should be considered day-to-day until he undergoes further evaluation.

Grabs second hold Guerra allowed two hits and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday to record his second hold of the season in a win over the Mets.

Impact Sean Doolittle has had a rough start to the year and Will Harris (groin) is still on the shelf, so manager Dave Martinez has had to get creative with his setup crew in front of Daniel Hudson. Guerra has stepped up in their place, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 4:0 K:BB through 4.2 innings over three appearances. If he continues pitching well, he could remain in a high-leverage role even after the Nats bullpen is back at full strength.
