Impact Guenther opened the season on Erie's IL while he continued his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last April.

Scooped up by Detroit The Tigers claimed Guenther (elbow) off waivers from the Marlins on Wednesday.

Impact Detroit will immediately move Guenther to its 60-day injured list, where he'll open the 2023 season while he continues to recover from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in April. The 26-year-old southpaw's lone big-league action to date came in 2021, when he yielded a 9.30 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 20.1 innings out of the Miami bullpen.

Undergoes Tommy John surgery Guenther underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Reports emerged last week that Guenther would need surgery, though exactly what type of procedure he'd need wasn't specified. Tommy John surgery rules him out for all of this season plus a fair portion of next year as well.

Placed on 60-day IL Guenther (arm) was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guenther was diagnosed with an arm injury recently that will likely require surgery, and the southpaw will be unavailable for at least the first two months of the regular season. He made his major-league debut last year and posted a 9.30 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 20.1 innings across 14 relief appearances. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

May need surgery Guenther is dealing with an arm injury which will likely require surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The nature of Guenther's injury and his potential surgery are not yet clear, but he's been ruled out of contention for the Opening Day roster and will begin the season on the injured list. While the Marlins would certainly prefer him to be healthy, he wasn't shaping up to be a major part of the team's plans, as he struggled to a 9.30 ERA while striking out just 14.6 percent of opposing batters in his 20.1-innings debut last season.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved with back injury The Marlins placed Guenther on the 10-day injured list Sunday with an upper-back strain, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guenther's move to the IL clears a spot on the active roster for pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Phillies. Over 14 relief appearances with Miami spanning 20.1 innings, Guenther was lit up for 21 earned runs on 31 hits and 10 walks.

Rejoins Marlins The Marlins recalled Guenther from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The lefty was sent down Monday after appearing in two games, allowing four runs over 2.2 innings in the second one. Given his poor performance, Guenther figures to pitch in nothing more than extremely low-leverage situations, if at all.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Monday Guenther was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guenther spent a week in the Marlins' bullpen after his contract was selected last Sunday, but he'll head back to the minors after he allowed four runs in 2.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Rockies. Left-hander Shawn Morimando's contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville as part of a move to take his place in the bullpen.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected by Miami Guenther had his contract selected by the Marlins on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guenther has split the season between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Jacksonville, and he'll now receive his first taste of the big leagues. The 25-year-old posted a 1.02 ERA and 26:3 K:BB over 17.2 frames at Double-A, but he's struggled since being promoted to Triple-A with a 4.76 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB across 22.2 innings.
