Zastryzny

Zastryzny hits the shelf after posting a strong 2.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB ratio across 22 innings this season. There is no timetable for his return. The 34-year-old’s absence is a significant hit to Milwaukee’s left-handed relief depth.

The 34-year-old left-hander had been shelved since suffering a left shoulder strain during the World Baseball Classic. Zastryzny posted a 2.45 ERA and a 20/10 K/BB ratio over 22 innings with the Brewers during the 2025 campaign. His return should provide a major boost to the Brewers’ bullpen.

The 34-year-old was dealing with an intercostal strain that had placed him on the 60-day injured list. It sounds like he may be ready as soon as his time on the IL concludes at the end of May.

Zastryzny was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to the start of the season, so he won’t be eligible to come off the IL until the end of May now. In addition to a shoulder strain, he’s also dealing with an intercostal issue that could keep him out until the summer begins.

Zastryzny picked up the injury while rehabbing from the shoulder strain that sidelined him through spring training. The 34-year-old will be a middle-inning option for Milwaukee near the beginning of May if there are no further setbacks.

Zastrynzy suffered a setback during his recovery, and the 34-year-old will return to Milwaukee for further testing. Once healthy, he’ll pitch in the middle of the Brewers’ bullpen, but it’s anyones guess when that will take place.

Zastryzny is on the injured list with a left shoulder strain. The 34-year-old will likely make a few appearances with the Sounds, and then could pitch in the middle of the Milwaukee bullpen in the next few weeks if the assignment goes well.

Zastryzny’s absence is a hit to Milwaukee’s left-handed relief depth at the outset of the year. The 33-year-old journeyman made 26 appearances for the Brewers last year, finishing with a 2.45 ERA and 20/10 K/BB ratio over 22 innings of work.

The left-handed reliever hurt his shoulder while pitching in the World Baseball Classic. He’ll take some time to rest and recover before trying to push for a spot in Milwaukee’s bullpen.

Zastryzny missed close to two months with a stress reaction in his ribs. He’ll be a middle-inning option now that he’s healthy enough to help.
