Rays Outright Javy Guerra To Triple-A

By Steve Adams | July 23, 2023 at 3:41pm CDT

TODAY: Guerra cleared DFA waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A, the Rays announced.

JULY 19: The Rays have designated right-hander Javy Guerra for assignment and recalled righty Calvin Faucher from Triple-A Durham, per a club announcement.

It’s been an eventful eight months for Guerra, who was traded from Tampa Bay to Milwaukee back in November, then designated for assignment and traded back to the Rays in April. This is now the second time the Rays have designated him for assignment since reacquiring him; he cleared waivers back in May and chose to accept an outright assignment at the time.

In 11 innings with the Rays this year, Guerra has posted a 4.09 ERA but issued more walks (13) than strikeouts (nine). The former top infield prospect, who converted to the mound five years ago, boasts a heater that averages 98 mph but doesn’t miss nearly as many bats as one would expect from someone with plus velocity. He’s fanned just 15% of his opponents against a 14.3% walk rate while pitching to a 6.43 ERA in 63 innings at the Major League level.

The Rays will have a week to trade Guerra or attempt to pass him through outright waivers. As was the case back in May, he’d have the option of rejecting an outright assignment in favor of free agency even if he does clear.

      Did Yonny do or say something to get DFA’d before Javy? Seemed like an odd transaction…

        either/or…could have flipped a coin for who came first. Guerra has done some good things this year, hoping he can stick in some capacity.

    So let me understand. The Rays DFA him…again….one day after Cash puts him on the mound in a one run game and he quickly blows things up when he had other options.

      Maybe that was the tipping point? Not like there are a lot of options in that pen right now…this is a major area of need, along with starting pitching.

    Tampa has finally had enough of the Guerra walks. He doesn’t let up a ton of hits or HRs but he has walked more than 1 guy per inning this year and his strikeouts are low too. Not what clubs are looking for in 2023.

    He sucked. every time they gave him a chance last year or this year same result. Should never been on roster..then again so does Faucher. On another topic Franco is way overrated, Luc,Josh,issac ect will all have better numbers then him at seasons end with 150 less at bats. Go ahead tell me about his last big hit…i’ll wait

    That’d be great……Too bad it’s really hard to develop ML quality pitches.

      I don’t think it’s a matter of practice. He could simpily be a pitcher who couldn’t/can’t get a feel for another pitch, or just not good enough arm accuracy to make his powerful stuff worthwhile. For every Felix Bautista success story, there are dozens of Javy Guerras.

    Who cares about Javy or Yonnie. Rays need to get their top bats to wake up.

      Not going to matter if our A.I. manager does not wake up. Every thought comes from a computer and no emotion. Sits there with that same blank expression as the season goes down the tubes. 3rd wild card maybe

        @Mrsuntan with hom many starting pitchers the Rays have lost this season, they way they re hanging in there is rather admirable.
