Rob

Zastryzny

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.

Zastryzny has been out of action since the beginning of July because of a stress reaction in his ribs. He’ll likely need to make a handful of appearances, and he could be an option against left-handed hitters before the end of August.

It may seem inconsequential, but Zastryzny has done an outstanding job in his relatively minor role as a left-handed specialist this season with a sparkling 2.03 ERA across 13 1/3 innings (15 appearances). His absence makes it a priority for Milwaukee to add some additional left-handed relief depth at this week’s trade deadline.

Zastryzny last pitched on Wednesday. He has a 2.03 ERA in 13 1/3 innings this season.

It’ll be lefty reliever Rob Zastryzny taking the ball for an opener appearance before passing the metaphorical baton to Patrick for a multi-inning outing. The 26-year-old rookie holds a respectable 2.97 ERA across 57 2/3 innings (12 appearances, 11 starts) this season in his first taste of the majors.

Zastrzyzny will pass the baton to rookie Quinn Priester for a bulk relief appearance after facing a couple lefties at the top of Baltimore’s lineup. The 33-year-old southpaw has worked a pair of scoreless innings for the Brewers since being acquired last Friday in a trade with the Yankees. It’s not a situation where fantasy managers will be able to extract a ton of value.
