J.B. Bukauskas Outrighted By Brewers
2 hours agoMilwaukee Brewers right-hander J.B. Bukauskas cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. Bukauskas now has three days to accept or decline the outright assignment. If he accepts, he will be a non-roster invite to big-league spring training camp next month. If he declines the assignment, he'll become a free agent. The 28-year-old former first-round pick (15th overall) by the Houston Astros in 2017 from the University of North Carolina made six relief appearances for the Brew Crew in 2024 and only gave up one earned run while walking one and striking out six in six innings of work. He debuted in the majors in 2021 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and has a 5.04 career ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 30 1/3 innings over 33 relief outings in his three years in MLB. If he sticks with the Brewers, he'll operate as minor-league relief depth.
