Summary
Brewers bolster their beleaguered bullpen with a surprise trade for right-hander Joel Kuhnel, acquired from the A’s for cash amid a wave of injuries. At 31, Kuhnel brings 25 games pitched, a 1-2 record, four saves, and a 4.21 ERA—his numbers would be even better without one bad outing. A veteran of teams like the Reds, Astros, and Rays, he was even part of the Brewers’ system earlier this year but never saw game action. With key arms like Fitzpatrick, Anderson, and Hall sidelined since April, the Brewers are making tough roster moves, including sending Quinn Priester to the 60-day IL, to keep their pitching staff afloat as the season heats up.
