MIL@WSH: Guerra is hit by own jewelry while pitching
Early years

In 2001, the Atlanta Braves drafted Guerra as a catcher. After being converted to a pitcher five years later, the Braves cut him and Guerra signed with the New York Mets, where he gained traction but then failed a PED test. In the half-decade plus from 2009-2014, Guerra played in international and independent leagues before the White Sox offered him a minor league contract in early 2015.
Chicago White Sox

Guerra was called up to the majors for the first time on June 7, 2015. He made his major league debut a few days later on June 12, and pitched in a total of three games with the White Sox.
Milwaukee Brewers

On October 7, 2015, Guerra was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers as the first roster move of general manager David Stearns. The Brewers chose to make him a starting pitcher rather than a reliever. A shoulder injury kept Guerra out of play in August 2016 and forced him to skip winter league baseball in the 16-17 offseason. Despite that, Guerra earned his spot in the rotation with a consistent 2016 season in the majors.

On April 3, 2017, Guerra was the starting pitcher for the Brewers on opening day. He left after three innings with a strained right calf.
