MESA – The Chicago Cubs today acquired right-handed pitcher Carlos Guzman from Detroit for infielder Zach McKinstry.

Guzman, 24, last season posted a 4.11 ERA (49 ER/107.1 IP) in 27 games (23 starts) between High-A West Michigan and Double-A Erie, striking out 90 against 34 walks. He spent a majority of the season with West Michigan, pitching to a 0.41 ERA (1 ER/22.0 IP) with a .372 opponent OPS in his final four outings, August 19-September 6, prior to his promotion to Erie.

Signed by the Tigers as a non-drafted free agent in March of 2015, the six-foot one-inch tall Guzman is 22-22 with a 3.80 ERA (134 ER/317.0 IP), one complete game and four saves in 84 career minor league games (64 starts). He has walked 118 and struck out 298 batters, allowing less than one home run per 9.0 innings (28 HR/317.0 IP).

McKinstry, 27, was acquired by Chicago last July 30 for right-handed pitcher Chris Martin and hit .206 (32-for-155) with six doubles, three triples, four home runs and 12 RBI in 47 games for the Cubs.
