Overview
- The Brewers designated right-hander Bryse Wilson for assignment Saturday and selected Lyon Richardson’s contract from Triple-A to the 26-man and 40-man rosters.
- Wilson has been DFA’d three times in under two months after stints with Philadelphia, Chicago and Milwaukee, though he posted a 2.63 ERA with Milwaukee over 13 2/3 innings since rejoining the club.
- Designating Wilson removed him from the 40-man and opened a seven-day window in which he can be traded, claimed on waivers, outrighted to the minors, or elect free agency if he clears waivers.
- Reports say the Brewers’ choice was driven by roster timing and a need for a fresher bullpen arm after Wilson threw three innings in the previous game, not solely by his recent results.
- The move underscores how roster limits and option status create churn for veteran swingmen and could affect both Wilson’s career stability and Milwaukee’s bullpen makeup as rosters tighten late in the season.
