9 months agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher
Dallas Keuchel has been designated for assignment, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In a corresponding move, the Brewers promoted right-handed pitcher
Joel Kuhnel from Triple-A Nashville. Keuchel posted a poor 5.40 ERA, 1.86 WHIP, and an 8:11 BB:K ratio across his four starts as a Brewer. Kuhnel has operated exclusively out of the bullpen in his minor league career and posted a 2.30 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in Triple-A Nashville earlier this season. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the Milwaukee rotation after the mid-summer classic, as there is currently an open spot.
Joe Ross (back) and
Bryse Wilson are candidates to claim the open rotation spot and could be worth a look in deeper leagues.

9 months agoAfter being acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, veteran left-hander
Dallas Keuchel will make the start on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting Texas Rangers. Keuchel has plenty of big-league experience and even won the American League Cy Young in 2015 with the Houston Astros, but he's bounced around the league since his final season in Houston in 2018 and has pitched in only 24 major-league games (20 starts) with four different teams since the start of 2022. He hasn't been good in that span, either, posting a 7.96 ERA and 1.91 WHIP with 70 strikeouts and 49 walks in 98 1/3 innings. However, Keuchel had a 3.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 71 innings for Triple-A Tacoma over 13 starts this year before the trade. If Keuchel pitches well against Texas on Wednesday, he could stick around in Milwaukee's rotation.

9 months agoThe Milwaukee Brewers have acquired starting pitcher
Dallas Keuchel from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations. The veteran southpaw signed a minor league deal with the Mariners in late-May. He currently holds a 3.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 45/22 K/BB across 13 starts in the minors this season. The 36-year-old might still have a little left in the tank. The expectation is that Keuchel will replace
Chris Rodriguez in the starting rotation. This is a nice feel-good story for Keuchel, but he doesn't offer much fantasy appeal at this stage of his career.

12 months agoIf the Seattle Mariners decide to skip young right-hander
Emerson Hancock's next turn in the starting rotation and if righty
Bryan Woo (elbow) isn't ready to return from the injured list by then, newly signed left-hander
Dallas Keuchel could be an option to temporarily replace Hancock. The 12-year-old veteran and former Cy Young winner threw five scoreless innings in his season debut with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Levi Stoudt,
Casey Lawrence and
Jhonathan Diaz could also be candidates for a spot start for the M's. It would be a cool comeback for Keuchel, 36, but his upside would be limited for fantasy managers and his stay in Seattle's rotation would likely be a short one with either Hancock or Woo replacing him sooner or later.
