Retreats to bench Gutierrez isn't starting Friday's game against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Not starting Wednesday Gutierrez isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Gutierrez went 1-for-9 with a run, three walks and five strikeouts across his last three appearances and will be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Ramon Urias will shift to third base while Jahmai Jones starts at the keystone.

Not starting Tuesday Gutierrez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Gutierrez sits after starting six straight games at third base, a stretch in which he grabbed just three hits. Ramon Urias slides to the hot corner in his absence, with Jorge Mateo starting at shortstop.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Playing regularly at hot corner Gutierrez will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.

Impact Gutierrez will draw his fifth consecutive start at the hot corner, but it's unclear if he'll continue to handle an everyday role heading into the upcoming week now that Jorge Mateo is healthy again. Before returning to the lineup for Saturday's 4-3 loss, Mateo had missed the previous three contests with left hip and lower-back soreness. Mateo and Ramon Urias -- who is resting Sunday -- both appear to be locked into everyday roles in the infield, likely leaving Gutierrez and Jahmai Jones to fight over the remaining spot in the lineup in most games.

Joins big-league roster Gutierrez was recalled by the Orioles on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Gutierrez could see time at third base down the stretch after Maikel Franco was designated for assignment. While anyone with a regular role in a hitter-friendly park like Camden Yards is at least theoretically interesting in deeper leagues, it's tough to get excited about Gutierrez, who's hitting just .209/.256/.278 in 46 major-league games this season and .254/.288/.421 in 34 Triple-A contests.

Sent down Thursday Gutierrez was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Gutierrez had the chance to carve out a role recently with Maikel Franco (ankle) sidelined, but he's gone just 1-for-13 with two RBI, a run, a walk and six strikeouts across the last four games. Franco began a rehab assignment with the Orioles' Florida Complex League team Tuesday, but Pat Valaika and Domingo Leyba could see increased time at the hot corner if Franco isn't cleared to return Friday.

JULY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets Wednesday off Gutierrez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Domingo Leyba will draw a start at third base in place of Gutierrez, who had gone 1-for-10 while starting each of the past three contests at the position. Gutierrez's window for everyday playing time will likely close soon after Maikel Franco (ankle) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

JULY 20, 2021 • Associated Press

Filling in for Maikel Franco Gutierrez will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Royals.

Impact Gutierrez has settled in as Baltimore's everyday third baseman since Maikel Franco (ankle) was placed on the injured list July 7. He'll draw his fifth start in six games Sunday, and the run of steady playing time is enough to keep Gutierrez relevant in AL-only leagues until Franco returns.

Impact Gutierrez was traded from the Royals to the Orioles on Saturday after he was designated for assignment by Kansas City, and he'll now join Baltimore's major-league roster after Maikel Franco (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old could compete with Domingo Leyba for playing time at third base while Franco is sidelined.

JULY 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Dealt to Baltimore Gutierrez was traded from Kansas City to Baltimore in exchange for cash considerations Saturday.

Impact Gutierrez was designated for assignment by Kansas City on Monday. After the trade, he'll report to Triple-A Norfolk, but he should be near the top of the list if Baltimore needs reinforcements in the infield.

JULY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Gutierrez was designated for assignment by the Royals on Monday.

Impact Gutierrez had been serving as the team's primary third baseman but wasn't close to convincing at the plate, hitting just .215/.254/.296 in 38 games. Emmanuel Rivera had his contract selected in a corresponding move and will be given the chance to make the position his own.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Draws three walks Gutierrez went 0-for-2 with three walks in Sunday's 7-3 win over Boston.

Impact Entering Sunday, Gutierrez had only walked twice in 31 games this year, so his sudden show of plate discipline shouldn't be expected to continue. The third baseman is slashing .229/.266/.322 with one home run, eight RBI, eight runs scored, two triples and four doubles in 124 plate appearances. Despite the uninspiring ratios, he's logged an everyday role at third base since he was called up May 14.

JUNE 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Launches two-run shot Gutierrez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's loss against Oakland.

Impact Gutierrez launched his two-run shot in the eighth inning off Jesus Luzardo, and that was all the offense the Royals would muster in the entire after they went 5-for-32 as a team. He's been seeing the ball well of late and is now riding a four-game hitting streak, going 6-for-16 with one homer and five RBI during that stretch.

JUNE 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plates two runs Gutierrez went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's win over the Athletics.

Impact Gutierrez made his presence felt in the bottom of the seventh inning, as he plated the go-ahead runs with a two-run single that knocked home both Jorge Soler and Hunter Dozier. The third baseman has been seeing the ball well of late and has hit safely in nine of the Royals' last 11 games, though he only has a .250 average with a .591 OPS in that span.
