Brewers Video
Ethan Small was the 28th overall pick for Milwaukee during the 2019 Major League Baseball draft. He made his Major League debut on May 30th this season and last just 2 2/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs. Small allowed two runs on four hits and struck out four while giving up four free passes.
Since returning to Triple-A Nashville, Small has worked 34 1/3 innings across seven starts. He owns a 4.98 ERA and has allowed a .696 OPS to opposing batters. However, Small owns just a 3.13 ERA and .577 OPS against in his last 23 innings, and he has outings with both 10 and eight strikeouts each. Needing some rotation help, it’s nice for Milwaukee being able to turn internally.
Connor Sadzeck appeared in just two games for the Brewers this year and allowed three runs (all in his last outing against the Rockies) across three innings. The 30-year-old has just 36 innings at the Major League level and will look for another opportunity.
In flipping Abraham Almonte to Boston, Milwaukee rids itself of a Triple-A depth talent. He hasn’t played in the majors this season but did post a .913 OPS for the sounds. Almonte got into 64 games with the Atlanta Braves a season ago, and his .730 OPS was well above the career mark of .676.
Milwaukee wraps up the series with Colorado tonight before hosting Minnesota tomorrow.
