Brewers cut ties with former Cubs, Mets 3.84 ERA reliever
The Brewers are making a notable adjustment in the bullpen.
The Milwaukee Brewers have decided to release a reliever previously associated with the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets, known for his 3.84 ERA. According to sources, the team designated left-hander Rob Zastryzny for assignment prior to the conclusion of the 2025 season. Zastryzny has been sidelined throughout the year due to a trapezius strain, spending most of his time on the 60-day injured list.
Last season, the 34-year-old had a 2.45 ERA with 20 strikeouts and 6.5 hits allowed per nine innings in 22 games. Despite his impressive performance, Zastryzny struggled to overcome his nagging injury, resulting in multiple attempts to return to the Majors via rehab assignments. His fastball velocity at Triple-A this season stands at 90.2 mph.
Zastryzny made his Major League debut with the Cubs in 2016, pitching 16 innings without allowing any earned runs in the World Series. The Brewers, who are currently viewed as serious contenders for the World Series title, will be without Zastryzny for the remainder of the season.
