Brewers claimed LHP Sammy Peralta off waivers from the Angels.
Peralta, 27, has a 5.12 ERA and a 37/24 K/BB in 45 2/3 innings of relief work for the White Sox and Angels the last three seasons. That he throws just above sidearm makes him pretty tough on lefties, but his lack of velocity is a problem against righties. If he sticks on the 40-man, he’ll compete for a bullpen spot in spring training.
