Guerrero was placed on Miami’s disabled list on July 5, retroactive to July 4, with a left lumbar strain. Prior to his injury, Guerrero was 1-2 with a 4.28 ERA in 41 relief outings for the Marlins, with 54 strikeouts in his 40 innings of work. This is the first year for Guerrero in the majors with the Marlins, and he did appear in one game for the San Diego Padres in 2016. That summer he was traded to the Marlins along with Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea in exchange for Jarred Cosart, Carter Capps, Luis Castillo, and Josh Naylor. Guerrero pitched parts of the last two seasons for Jacksonville, going 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA with four saves in 12 outings in 2016. With the Jumbo Shrimp last year, Guerrero was 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 17 relief outings. Guerrero, 27, is a native of Boca Chica, Colombia, and grew up on the small island of Isla Tierra Bomba. Guerrero’s story of going from the island by boat to the only baseball field in the area and then walking two hours through a snake-infested jungle to get back home made headlines this offseason. Guerrero worked a scoreless seventh inning in Saturday’s game at Pensacola. Harrison and O’Brien Booming Homers: Jacksonville’s Monte Harrison and Peter O’Brien are tied for the Marlins organizational lead in home runs, with each slugger hitting 13 so far in 2018. O”Brien has combined to hit 20 between his time with the Jumbo Shrimp and Double-A Tulsa before his trade to the Marlins. Biscuits in Town: Bring on the Biscuits. Tonight begins the final of three series between the clubs in 2018. The Jumbo Shrimp won three of five games at Montgomery in mid-May, while the Biscuits swept the Jumbo Shrimp their last visit here from late June to early July in a six-game series. Shrimp Have Prospects: On the roster, the Jumbo Shrimp have nine players who were listed by MLB.com as Top 30 Miami Marlins prospects for the 2018 season: OF Monte Harrison (1), Isan Diaz (7), RHP Nick Neidert (8), OF Brian Miller (10), Merandy Gonzalez (13), Joe Dunand (16), Jordan Yamamoto (19) Robert Dugger (22) and John Norwood (30).
