    Brewers designated LHP Drew Rom for assignment.

    The Brewers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Ji Hwan Bae on Sunday and unfortunately Rom drew the short straw this time. It’s possible that the 26-year-old southpaw could attract interest on waivers.

    The 26-year-old southpaw has really struggled in 12 appearances at the MLB level this season, registering a 6.35 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and a 16/7 K/BB ratio over 11 1/3 innings of work. He’ll add a fresh arm to an overworked Athletics’ bullpen.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher #63
    Rom, claimed off waivers from the Brewers earlier this month, gave up six runs in 5 2/3 innings during his 17 days with the A’s.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher #63
    Rom was limited to just 5 2/3 innings out of the bullpen for the Brewers this season, but had a 3.18 ERA. He also had a stellar 2.20 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 61/11 K.BB ratio in 41 innings at Triple-A Nashville. This could be a nice addition to the A’s bullpen. They could also try to stretch him out since he was a starting pitcher up until this season.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #63
    Rom holds a 3.18 ERA in 5 2/3 innings for the Brewers this year, striking out 11. He’s the active roster spot the Brewers needed for signing Bryse Wilson. The 26-year-old has pitched well in Triple-A as well, with a 2.51 ERA in 31 2/3 innings and 47 strikeouts, so he figures to be back in the bigs at some point.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #63
    The 26-year-old southpaw has made four appearances out of the Brewers’ bullpen this season, registering a 3.38 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 10/4 K/BB ratio across 5 1/3 innings. He’ll add a fresh arm to the club’s bullpen for at least a few days while they decide how to replace Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) in their rotation.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #63
    With Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) back, the Brewers will send Rom back to Triple-A, where he has posted a 3.04 ERA and a 39/9 K/BB in 26 2/3 innings.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #63
    Welcome back, Drew Rom. The former Orioles prospect made eight starts with the Cardinals in 2023 after being sent to St. Louis in the Jack Flaherty trade, but he needed shoulder surgery afterwards and spent a year and a half rehabbing. The Brewers signed him to a minor league deal in December and had him work out of the pen for the first time with very nice results to date; he had a 3.04 ERA and a 39/9 K/BB in 26 2.3 innings for Indianapolis. He does have two option years left, so he’ll probably do some bouncing back and forth between the majors and Triple-A over the next few months.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #63
    Rom hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2023. The 26-year-old left-hander will be an organizational depth piece for Milwaukee in 2026.
  • STL Starting Pitcher #38
    Rom has been jettisoned from the Cardinals’ 40-man roster after missing all of last season recovering from arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The 24-year-old southpaw came over from the Orioles back in 2023 as part of the Jack Flaherty trade and made eight starts during the late stages of that season.
  • STL Starting Pitcher #38
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated that it’s not necessarily season-ending for Rom, but he’s going to wind up being sidelined until the late stages of the year. There’s a chance he’s back for a handful of appearances at some point in September.

    Angel Martínez was removed from Monday’s game against the White Sox with right side inflammation.

    Martínez was lifted for a defensive replacement in the eighth inning after striking out in the previous frame. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him get a couple days off out of an abundance of caution.

    Miguel Vargas went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and also stole a base, leading the White Sox to a 7-3 win over the Guardians on Monday.

    Vargas put the finishing touches on an unexpected six-run outburst by taking Cleveland reliever Daniel Espino deep in the sixth inning. It was his 31st round-tripper of the year. He also picked up his 19th stolen base of the year as Chicago extended their AL Central division lead to 1.5 games with the victory. The 26-year-old former top prospect has emerged as a certifiable fantasy force this season, hitting .249/.357/.475 with 98 runs scored, 31 homers, 81 RBI and 19 steals across 653 plate appearances.

    José Ramírez singled and stole two bases in Monday’s loss to the White Sox.

    Ramírez hasn’t delivered his usual first-round fantasy production this season, mostly due to the lingering impact of a mid-June hamate fracture. However, he’s still managed to reach the lofty 30-steal plateau for the third consecutive season.

    Hagen Smith recorded three strikeouts over two scoreless innings against the Guardians on Monday.

    Smith was universally regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, but he’s outperformed even the most lofty expectations, posting a microscopic 0.41 ERA and 32/10 K/BB ratio across 22 innings since being called up in mid-August. The 23-year-old southpaw continues to excel in relief and has looked like a true late-inning weapon for the upstart White Sox.
