Vladimir Gutierrez Takes Third Loss
Vladimir Gutierrez turned in a quality start in a 3-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday. Gutierrez allowed three runs over six innings of work while striking out four and walking two, but he wound up taking the loss in the low-scoring game. The loss drops his record to 2-3, to go along with a 3.97 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts over 34 innings of work. Gutierrez appears to be pitching a bit above his metrics suggest as he has a 5.44 xFIP and is walking 4.24 batters per nine innings. That being said, he's worth using as a streaming option for as long as he's having success. Gutierrez is lined up to face the San Diego Padres next.

Brewers Claim Vladimir Gutierrez Off Waivers From Marlins
Vladimir Gutierrez off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville. Gutierrez allowed three earned runs on three hits (one home run) while walking two and striking out four in a four-inning relief appearance with Miami this year before being designated for assignment. The 28-year-old former undrafted free agent has experience as both a starter and reliever in his major-league career. Before appearing out of Miami's bullpen this year, Gutierrez hadn't appeared in the majors since 2022 with the Cincinnati Reds. In his 154 2/3 big-league innings over 33 outings (30 starts), Gutierrez has a 5.47 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with 72 walks and 121 K's.

Marlins Sign Vladimir Gutierrez To Minors Contract
Vladimir Gutierrez to a minor-league contract on Friday that includes a non-roster invite to major-league spring training, according to sources. Gutierrez was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery last year and only saw 6 1/3 innings in minor-league rehab appearances in 2023. The 28-year-old appeared in 32 games (30 starts) for the Cincinnati Reds in 2021 and 2022 before going under the knife, and he went 10-12 with a 5.44 ERA (5.61 FIP) and 1.53 WHIP with 117 strikeouts and 70 walks in 150 2/3 frames. Now that he's healthy, he'll give the Marlins some depth for their starting rotation, but there's a good chance he'll begin the 2024 season in the minors with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Vladimir Gutierrez Being Prepared For Relief Role
Vladimir Gutierrez (elbow) pitched in a simulated game on Tuesday and is scheduled to throw an inning in the Arizona Complex League later this week. Although Gutierrez is a starter, he's being prepared for a bullpen role this season and could return as a starter in 2024. The 27-year-old had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on July 20 of last year. "He's getting towards the end of this whole process," Bell said July 25. "Hopefully we'll be seeing him -- definitely before the end of the year -- but hopefully everything stays on track because he's doing great." Gutierrez won't really have much fantasy value in a relief role for the Reds down the stretch, whenever he's able to return.
