Brewers' Bullpen Dilemma: Zastryzny's Return

About this episode

Milwaukee Brewers face a tough decision with Rob Zastryznys return, as their deep bullpen is now a luxury headache. Zastryzny, a lefty, is set to return from injury and has no minor league options left. The Brewers must decide whether to keep him on the big league roster or risk losing him on waivers. The team already has four lefties locked in, including Aaron Ashby, Jared Koenig, Angel Zerpa, and DL Hall. Fans and insiders are buzzing about the squeeze, and the Brewers may consider optioning Hall or pitting Zastryzny against righty Jake Woodford. The team is likely plotting a trade to shuffle the deck without drama.

It's April 1st. Welcome to Milwaukee Brewer's News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Milwaukee Brewer's got one of the deepest bullpins in baseball right now, but Rob's estrisenies return is forcing a tough call. The lefty started the season on the injured list after tweaking his shoulder with Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic. He kicked off rehab Tuesday, tossing a scoreless inning for Triple A Nashville. His assignment wraps in no more than three weeks, and with no minor league options left, he heads straight back to the Big League roster or hits. Wavors. Brewer's grabbed him back last May in a cash deal from the Yankees, so they might not want to risk losing him cheap. Fans and insiders buzzing about the squeeze for lefties already locked in like Aaron Ashby, Jared Konig, and Angel Zurpa, plus DL Hall who's striking out dudes early. Keeping any of those studs would take an injury, and Ridey Grand Anderson still has options, but five lefties feels wild. Crew might eye-optioning Hall, or pitting Zaster's knee against no options, Ridey Jake Woodford.

They're probably crossing fingers for a natural fix, or plotting a trade to shuffle the deck without drama. Either way, this depth turns into a luxury headache fast. Watch how Milwaukee maneuvers to keep the pin humming through the stretch.
