Gutierrez is on High-A Hickory's 7-day injured list and will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The 19-year-old presumably suffered the injury during his last appearance Sunday, when he went 0-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and a run scored. Gutierrez will finish the 2024 campaign with a .247/.326/.322 slash line with one homer, 38 steals, 19 RBI and 35 runs in 71 games at High-A.

Rangers' Anthony Gutierrez: Gradual improvements at Single-A
Rotowire
Gutierrez is hitting .314 with six steals, six strikeouts and four walks in 10 July games for Single-A Down East.
The 18-year-old outfielder has struggled to do much damage in his full-season debut (.062 ISO, .315 SLG), but his strikeouts are trending down while his walks are trending up. An excellent athlete, the 6-foot-3 Gutierrez has a chance to develop a well-round tool set, but right now he is more projection than substance.
