The Brewers are going to promote right-hander , according to Spanish-language reports from Edgard Rodriguez (X ) and Fernando Rayo of 8 Deportivo out of Nicaragua (links from X and ). The Nicaraguan hurler is not on the clubs 40-man but will need to be added before he starts Tuesdays game against the Blue Tim Locastro Jersey Jays. Rodriguez, now 22, was a sixth-round pick of the Brewers in 2021. He made his profe sional debut in 2022, to sing 107 2/3 innings between Single-A and High-A. He allowed 3.01 earned runs per nine frames while striking out 30.1% of hitters and giving out walks at a 9.3% rate. That launched him onto the prospect radar, with ranking him #14 in the system going into 2023 and putting him in the #20 slot. He spent most of last year in Double-A with one start in Triple-A late in the year. He to sed a combined 128 1/3 innings with a 2.88 ERA, 29.3% strikeout rate and 10.6% walk rate. Here in 2024, hes been back at Triple-A, having thrown 62 2/3 innings so far. His 5.17 ERA isnt especially impre sive but hes looked better as the season has gone along, with a 2.83 ERA in six starts since the start of May. That strong showing will get him up to the big leagues for the first time. The Brewers have put both and on the injured list in recent weeks, further compounding a growing injury problem for the rotation. is going to mi s the entire season due to shoulder surgery and required Tommy John surgery not too long ago. and have each been on the IL for a while as well. is starting tonights game and should be followed by , and in the games after that. Rodriguez will then take the hill on Tuesday, which could perhaps be for a spot start or maybe a lengthier stay in the majors, perhaps depending on how he fares. As for the 40-man roster spot, its po sible that Ga ser could relinquish his to Rodriguez, depending on how things develop in the next few days. The lefty was placed on the IL earlier this week with a left flexor strain. Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel relayed an update today from manager Pat Murphy. Ga ser apparently has damage in the back of his elbow and has been recommended for surgery by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. But this apparently contrasts with another opinion the club got, so the lefty will be getting a third perspective. Josh Walker Jersey
