Brewers reacquire pitcher Rob Zastryzny from Yankees in exchange for cash
- On Friday, the Milwaukee Brewers brought back left-handed reliever Rob Zastryzny in a deal with the New York Yankees that involved cash considerations.
- The trade occurred after Zastryzny inked a deal with the Yankees on a Minor League basis, following his time spent mainly in Triple-A during the 2024 season with the Brewers.
- Zastryzny, a 33-year-old soft-throwing southpaw, made 13 appearances with the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 4.50 ERA without walks.
- Last season with Milwaukee, Zastryzny appeared in nine games and recorded an ERA of 1.17, while holding a perfect 4-0 record across 54 major league outings and 67 innings pitched.
- The Brewers, facing pitching injuries, likely view Zastryzny’s ability to generate soft contact and his familiarity with Milwaukee as valuable for bolstering bullpen depth.
