Alec Bettinger - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Cut by Milwaukee The Brewers released Bettinger on Sunday.

Impact Bettinger reached the big leagues for the first time in his age-25 campaign in 2021, but he didn't have much staying power with Milwaukee after surrendering 15 earned runs in 10 innings across four appearances (one start). He failed to make the Opening Day roster and was outrighted off the 40-man roster in May, and he didn't show enough of a turnaround in his performance at Triple-A Nashville for the Brewers to justify keeping him around in the organization. Over his 13 outings (six starts) with Nashville this season, Bettinger compiled a 6.49 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 21:21 K:BB in 34.2 innings.

Outrighted to Triple-A Bettinger was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Bettinger has been pitching for Nashville early in the season, and he's allowed two runs in five innings over two starts. The 26-year-old should remain with the Triple-A club, but he'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster.

Heads to Triple-A The Brewers optioned Bettinger to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Bettinger was one of five 40-man roster players that the Brewers demoted to Triple-A in the team's latest round of cuts from big-league camp. The 26-year-old righty reached the majors for the first time in 2021, appearing in four games (one start) while giving up 15 earned runs on 18 hits and three walks over 10 frames.

Called up by Brewers Bettinger was recalled by the Brewers on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bettinger has been primarily a starter in the minors and filled that role in one of his four major-league appearances this season, but it looks as though he'll be a reliever for now. He's filling the roster spot that had belonged to Brett Anderson, who landed on the injured list with a bruised shoulder, but Anderson just pitched Wednesday, so his turn in the rotation isn't due up for several days.

Sent back down Bettinger was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Impact Bettinger was called up by the Brewers on Thursday, and he allowed one run on two hits and no walks in a relief inning during the win over the Pirates. He'll return to the minors after left-hander Hoby Milner was recalled in a corresponding move.

Rejoins Brewers The Brewers recalled Bettinger from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact Bettinger was optioned to Nashville after serving as the team's 27th man during Saturday's doubleheader. However, with the back injury to Angel Perdomo, Bettinger will rejoin Milwaukee for Sunday's series finale against Washington.

Sent to Triple-A Bettinger was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Impact The 25-year-old was promoted to serve as the 27th man for the twin bill but didn't appear in either contest. Bettinger has given up 14 runs on 16 hits with a 5:3 K:BB over nine major-league innings.

Recalled as 27th man Bettinger was recalled by the Brewers as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Impact Bettinger was sent back to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, but he'll return to the major-league roster as bullpen depth for Saturday's twin bill. He'll likely return to the minors after the doubleheader.

Heads back to minors Bettinger was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Impact Bettinger's latest stint with the team lasted just two days. He allowed two runs in two innings of work in his lone appearance, which actually dragged his season ERA down to 14.00. Keston Hiura was recalled in a corresponding move.

Called up by Brewers The Brewers recalled Bettinger from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Bettinger spent almost two weeks with Nashville after being optioned May 9, but now returns to the Brewers for what figures to be a long relief role. Two appearances is an insufficient sample size, but his 15.43 ERA in the MLB this season is a cause for significant concern for the right-hander.

Sent to Triple-A Bettinger was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact The 25-year-old was lit up for 11 runs in his big-league debut against the Dodgers last weekend, but he responded well with one run given up over three innings versus the Marlins on Friday. Brett Anderson (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, while Bettinger figures to join the starting rotation at Nashville.

MAY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lit up by Dodgers Bettinger (0-1) allowed 11 runs on 11 hits and two walks over four innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. He didn't record a strikeout.

Impact Bettinger's major-league debut realistically couldn't have gone much worse than it did. The biggest hits against him were a pair of grand slams from AJ Pollock and Matt Beaty within the first two innings. Bettinger had a 3.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 157:35 K:BB with Double-A Biloxi in 2019, but the right-hander may need more time in the minors before he can contribute positively for Milwaukee at the big-league level.
