Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox selected him in the 15th round, with the 471st overall selection, of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft.[1] Guerrero signed with the White Sox rather than attend college.

Guerrero pitched nine innings for the Bristol White Sox in 2012 after he signed, giving up three earned. He returned to Bristol in 2013, but was shut down with shoulder tendinitis after five games and missed the remainder of the season.[2] In 2014, he pitched for the Kannapolis Intimidators as a relief pitcher, so that the White Sox could lessen his workload.[3] In 27 games (nine starts) for Kannapolis he pitched to a 6–2 record and 3.46 ERA. He returned to starting in 2015 with Kannapolis[2] before receiving a mid-season promotion to the Winston-Salem Dash. In 25 starts between the two teams he was 13–4 with a 3.08 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Guerrero spent 2016 with the Birmingham Barons where he posted a 7–8 record and 4.83 ERA in 25 starts, and he returned to Birmingham in 2017, going 7–12 with a 4.18 ERA in another 25 starts.[4] He began 2018 back with Birmingham, and was later promoted to the Triple-A Charlotte Knights, where he recorded a 7–2 record and 3.46 ERA in 12 starts. In 2019, pitching for the Charlotte Knights, Guerrero struggled to a 3–7 record with a 7.27 ERA, leading to his release on July 23, 2019.[5]

Miami Marlins

On July 28, 2019, Guerrero signed a minor league deal with the Miami Marlins and was assigned to the Double-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.[6]

Algodoneros de Unión Laguna

In March 2020, Guerrero signed with the Algodoneros de Unión Laguna of the Mexican League.[7] After the cancellation of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Guerrero spent two seasons with the Algodoneros.

Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos

On January 11, 2023, the Algodoneros traded Guerrero to the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos for José Torres.[8]
