Bennett Sousa - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated, optioned Sousa was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Impact Sousa was placed on the injured list June 9 with left-shoulder nerve irritation. The reliever has only made two appearances in the majors this season, both in which he gave up two runs. In Triple-A Nashville the 28-year-old has a 5.06 ERA with 16.0 innings pitched.

Transferred to 60-day IL Sousa (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Justin Wilson's return. Sousa is beginning a rehab assignment with the Brewers' Arizona Coast League affiliate Friday, so he should have a shot to be activated when first eligible in early August. He's been out since early June with left shoulder nerve irritation.

Lands on IL The Brewers placed Sousa on the 15-day injured list Friday with left shoulder nerve irritation.

Impact Sousa made just his second appearance of the season Wednesday against Baltimore in the ninth inning and surrendered two runs on three hits and a walk. He will now be shelved for at least another two weeks, becoming the 10th Brewers pitcher currently on the IL. Tyson Miller was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Brought up from minors The Brewers recalled Sousa from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact Milwaukee sent right-hander Jake Cousins to Nashville to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Sousa, who rejoins the big club for the first time since early May. Since being demoted to Nashville, Sousa has pitched to a 3.12 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 8.2 innings across eight appearances.

Heads back to minors The Brewers optioned Sousa to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Impact Sousa's demotion came one day after he was tagged for two earned runs on two hits and one walk over 1.2 innings out of the bullpen in his Brewers debut in Monday's 9-3 win over the Dodgers. Though he'll now head back to Triple-A, Sousa should be near the top of the list for a promotion the next time the Brewers are in need of another lefty arm in the bullpen.

Recalled from Triple-A Sousa was recalled Friday from Triple-A Nashville.

Impact Sousa will join the Brewers' bullpen Friday night in San Francisco. He was acquired from the Reds last month in exchange for cash considerations and had racked up eight strikeouts across 4.2 innings of work with Nashville.

Acquired from Reds The Brewers acquired Sousa from the Reds in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sousa was designated for assignment by the Reds last week and will remain in the NL Central with the trade. He'll provide depth as an up-and-down option for the Brewers while on the 40-man roster.

Dropped from 40-man roster Sousa was designated for assignment by the Reds on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sousa got the short end of the stick Wednesday when the Reds selected the contract of fellow relief pitcher Kevin Herget, forcing them to drop someone from the 40-man roster. Sousa will now either remain with Triple-A Louisville, get claimed by another team or be released outright, the first of which seems most likely. The left-hander appeared in 25 games with White Sox in 2022, struggling to a 8.41 ERA and 1.72 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 20.1 innings.

APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Sousa was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Impact Sousa joined the Reds at the end of February after being designated for assignment by the White Sox, and he's now set to begin the 2023 campaign in the minors. He was unable to find much success with Chicago a season ago, finishing with an 8.41 ERA and 1.72 WHIP with a 12:10 K:BB across 20.1 frames, but he should be in the mix for a mid-season promotion.

MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands with Reds The Reds claimed Sousa off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sousa, designated for assignment Monday, posted a miserable 8.41 ERA in 20.1 innings with the White Sox last season. Those struggles suggest he'll need to show significant improvement in camp for a shot at Cincinnati's Opening Day roster.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster The White Sox designated Sousa for assignment Monday.

Impact Sousa was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for infielder Elvis Andrus, who finalized a one-year, $3 million deal with Chicago on Monday. In his 25 appearances out of the Chicago bullpen in 2022, the left-handed Sousa struggled to an 8.41 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 12:10 K:BB across 20.1 innings. The 27-year-old will hit the waiver wire, and there could be some interest from clubs looking for a southpaw to compete for a bullpen spot.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A The White Sox optioned Sousa to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Impact With holds in both of his last two appearances, Sousa appeared to be gaining traction in the late innings for Chicago, but he'll end up being swapped out of the bullpen for Joe Kelly (hamstring), who returns from a stint on the 15-day injured list. Through his 25 appearances with the White Sox this season, Sousa has largely been unreliable, as he's turned in an 8.41 ERA and 1.72 WHIP across 20.1 innings.

JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first MLB save Sousa retired the lone batter he faced via a fly ball to record the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Closer Liam Hendriks was unavailable Sunday after pitching the past two days, and Jose Ruiz was called upon for the save in his place. Ruiz allowed a leadoff double before retiring the next two batters, and Sousa then entered to face pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki, who was retired on four pitches. Sousa is receiving his first taste of the majors this year and has a 4.82 ERA through 12 outings, and he shouldn't be expected to see regular high-leverage opportunities with much frequency.

Jumps to 40-man roster Sousa had his contract selected by the White Sox on Friday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Sousa was a member of Chicago's 60-man player pool for the 2020 campaign but never saw big-league action. The left-hander split last season between Double-A and Triple-A, and he pitched well at both levels with combined 3.61 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 71:20 K:BB over 47.1 innings. He'll have an outside chance at a spot on the Opening Day roster with a strong showing in spring training.
