Guenther is up to replace Bailey Horn, with Horn optioned to Toledo after Wednesday’s game. Guenther will be a middle-inning option in this stint with the Tigers.

With Alex Faedo on the Paternity List, Guenther will be called up to give the Tigers a fresh arm in the bullpen. The 28-year-old has allowed one run in 1/13 innings with the Tigers this season and has a 3.31 ERA in 51 2/3 innings at Triple-A.

It’s the corresponding move to the Tigers selecting the contract of Brant Hurter. Guenther was just called up Thursday, and there’s a decent chance he could be back up before the season comes to an end; albeit in a role that doesn’t deserve fantasy consideration.

Guenther last appeared in the majors during the 2021 season when he made 14 relief appearances for the Marlins before undergoing Tommy John surgery just prior to the 2022 campaign. The 28-year-old left-hander has recorded a strong 3.86 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 46/14 K/BB ratio across 44 1/3 innings (34 appearances, two starts) this season at the Triple-A level. He’ll pitch in long relief situations for Detroit moving forward.
