Washington Nationals designate Javy Guerra for assignment; tough decision according to Davey Martinez

Before the series finale in Milwaukee on Sunday, the Washington Nationals announced a few moves to bring back some bullpen arms. Austin Voth was returned from a rehab assignment and reinstated from the Injured List, as was reliever Kyle McGowin. In order to make room, a decision was made to designate veteran reliever Javy Guerra for assignment, while the Nats sent outfielder Andrew Stevenson to Triple-A Rochester.

Guerra, 35, and a member of the 2019 championship club, went 0–1 with a 16.50 ERA in six relief appearances for the Nationals, after the 11-year veteran was called up from Triple-A to help the bullpen following the club’s fire sale at the trade deadline.
