Guerrero

Guerrero, a 15th round selection back in 2012, drew the start for the White Sox split-squad contest and didn’t look overmatched against a solid A’s lineup. The 24-year-old southpaw recorded a pedestrian 4.75 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 120:47 K/BB ratio in 25 starts (26 appearances) across two levels in the upper minors last season. He will likely open the year at Triple-A, but will be a potential mid-season call-up for the rebuilding White Sox.

The left-hander has gone 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA over his last three starts. Guerrero now has 10 wins with a 9.12 K/9 across two minor league levels. The 21-year-old has tallied at least seven punch-outs in three of his last four outings and has lasted seven innings or more in eight of 21 starts this season.
