Toronto Blue Jays designate Javy Guerra for assignment

The Blue Jays announced today that they’ve designed RHP Javy Guerra for assignment as a corresponding move to the activation of Ryan Tepera from the 10-day injured list.

Guerra, 33, signed on as a minor-league free agent with the Blue Jays on January 14.

Picked up as an under-the-radar relief signing, Guerra was actually quite effective through the first week of the season, tossing 4.2 frames and allowing just a single earned run and striking out eight against Cleveland, Baltimore, and Detroit.

Against Boston on April 11, he pitched a scoreless inning and racked up one strikeout, reducing his WHIP to a solid 0.
