Brewers reacquire pitcher Rob Zastryzny from Yankees in exchange for cash

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny from the New York Yankees for cash and optioned right-handed pitcher Elvis Peguero to Triple-A Nashville

MAY 16 • Associated Press

Demoted to Nashville The Brewers optioned Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Impact With Rob Zastryzny coming over from New York to bolster the Brewers' bullpen, Peguero will end up as the odd man without a roster spot. The 28-year-old has given up four earned runs in just 7.1 innings this season, but he could be called upon later in the year if Milwaukee needs to add a fresh arm.

Brewers send RHP Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville and recall reliever Elvis Peguero

The Milwaukee Brewers have optioned right-handed pitcher Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville and have recalled right-handed reliever Elvis Peguero

MAY 11 • Associated Press

Moves up to big leagues The Brewers recalled Peguero from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact Milwaukee sent starter Tobias Myers to Triple-A in a corresponding move to clear a spot in the bullpen for Peguero. The 28-year-old righty was a staple of the Milwaukee bullpen in 2024, but he posted a 5.68 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in five appearances with the big club to begin the season before being optioned to Nashville on April 11. The right-hander has performed better over the past month at Triple-A, giving up two earned runs on six hits and four walks over eight innings across seven appearances.

Dispatched to Nashville The Brewers optioned Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Impact After turning in a career-best 2.98 ERA last season, Peguero has struggled to begin 2025, allowing four earned runs in just 6.1 innings. He'll now head to Triple-A in order to get back on track, and his roster spot will be given to Jose Quintana, who officially joined the big-league club Friday.

Back to minors Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Peguero has pitched nearly the entire season at the big-league level and maintained a solid 2.98 ERA across 51.1 frames. However, his 4.7 BB/9 has led to an inflated 1.54 WHIP. He'll head to the minors, though he would be a candidate to return to the majors if the Brewers require depth out of the bullpen later in the month.

Recalled from Triple-A The Brewers recalled Peguero from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Peguero has collected a 3.00 ERA and 43:24 K:BB across 48 frames out of the Milwaukee bullpen this season. He'll likely operate as a middle reliever for the Brewers.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Brewers optioned Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Peguero had posted a 1.38 ERA and 13:6 K:BB over his last 13 innings covering 15 appearances but nonetheless finds himself back in the minors. The Brewers have not yet announced a corresponding move, but Trevor Megill (back) returning from the injured list appears highly probable.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands rare save Peguero picked up the save Tuesday against the Rangers, striking out one during a perfect ninth inning.

Impact With Trevor Megill having pitched the past two days, Peguero stepped into the closing role Tuesday and fired a perfect inning for his second save of the season. The effort was a rebound for Peguero, who yielded four hits and two runs (one earned) across his previous two innings. Peguero owns a 5-2 record with a 2.81 ERA across 32.0 innings this season.

JUNE 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up first save Peguero earned the save in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Cubs, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact With Trevor Megill (elbow) unavailable after he was struck by a line drive Tuesday, Peguero got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. He worked around a Dansby Swanson one-out single to close out a two-run victory, earning his first save of the year. It could be a one-off for Peguero, as Megill is expected to avoid an IL stint and figures to reclaim the closing job until Devin Williams (back) is healthy. Still, the 27-year-old Peguero has been a solid late-inning option for the Brewers this season, pitching to a 2.92 ERA with a 1.58 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings.

MAY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured list Peguero was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with a right elbow effusion, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact It's unclear when the injury first surfaced for Peguero, but he hasn't pitched since he delivered 1.1 scoreless frames Saturday against Washington. The right-hander will miss the rest of the regular season but will be eligible to return in the playoffs, which the Brewers are undoubtedly hoping for given his 3.38 ERA and 21 holds in 59 outings this year.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting back on track Peguero tossed a scoreless eighth inning in Monday's 12-1 victory over the Rockies.

Impact Peguero was preparing to enter the game with the Brewers ahead by only four runs, so don't let the fact that he worked in a blowout lead you to believe he is no longer part of Milwaukee's late-inning mix. Peguero gave up three earned runs twice in late July, but he seems to have righted the ship, allowing just one runner to reach base through three outings in August. He remains the top right-handed option in front of setup man Joel Payamps and closer Devin Williams.

Journal Sentinel Julio Teheran and Brice Turang were bright spots for Milwaukee on Sunday, while Elvis Peguero experienced a rare hiccup that proved costly.

Journal Sentinel An 8-5 Brewers loss to the Reds featured plenty of action, but none more wild than what the rookie phenom did against Elvis Peguero.

JULY 9, 2023 • JSONLINE.COM

Earns save Peguero picked up his first career save Sunday against the Guardians after striking out two and not allowing a hit in the 10th inning.

Impact Peguero was awarded a save opportunity in the 10th after Devin Williams pitched a perfect ninth to send the game to extra innings. The 26-year-old started off the frame with back-to-back strikeouts of Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor and shut the door on the game by getting Myles Straw to foul out. The 26-year-old has been a viable reliver in his first season with the Brewers and now stands at a 2.89 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB to go with five holds and the one save over 28 innings. He's unlikely to see many more save chances moving forward unless Williams is unavailable to pitch.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up first win Peguero tossed a scoreless 10th inning and picked up the first win of his career in Friday's victory over the Reds.

Impact Peguero hit a batter in his lone inning, but he also kept the Reds off the scoreboard in the bottom of the 10th frame, and he walked away with the win when the Brewers scored two runs to Cincinnati's one in the 11th. Since being recalled by the Brewers in late April, Peguero has allowed two and four earned runs in separate outings, but he has also made 12 scoreless appearances and owns a 2.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. As such, his spot in Milwaukee's bullpen seems secure for the time being.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins big club Peguero was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander failed to make Milwaukee's Opening Day roster but will join the MLB club a couple weeks into the season. Peguero has pitched well early this year for Nashville with a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A level Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Peguero joined the Brewers organization in November as part of the trade package from the Angels for outfielder Hunter Renfroe. The 26-year-old reliever holds a career 9.15 ERA in 19.2 innings of work at the major-league level.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shipped to Milwaukee Peguero was traded from the Angels to the Brewers on Tuesday along with Janson Junk and Adam Seminaris in exchange for Hunter Renfroe.

Impact Peguero has appeared in 16 games for the Angels over the past two seasons but has struggled in his first taste of the majors with 13 earned runs allowed across 17.1 innings. The 25-year-old pitched well at Triple-A last year with a 2.84 ERA and will now attempt to find his footing in a new organization.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to minors Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Impact Peguero spent just over a month in the Angels' bullpen and posted a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 16 innings over 11 appearances. However, he'll lose his spot on the active roster after he gave up three unearned runs in one-third of an inning Friday against Texas.

JULY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues Peguero was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 25-year-old made two appearances for the Angels in early May and will now rejoin the major-league club. Peguero surrendered three runs over 1.1 innings between those two outings, but he's pitched better at Triple-A with a 3.55 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bound for minors The Angels optioned Peguero to Triple-A Salt Lake following Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.

Impact Los Angeles is off Thursday and likely won't announce a corresponding addition to the 26-man active roster until Friday, when Chase Silseth could be summoned from Double-A Rocket City to make a spot start in the Angels' series opener in Oakland, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic. Peguero was recalled from Triple-A on May 3 and made two appearances over his week-and-a-half-long stint with the big club, working 1.1 innings and giving up three earned runs.

MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back down Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Impact Peguero was called up by the Angels on Saturday but didn't make any appearances during his time on the major-league roster. The right-hander has been effective in Salt Lake this year, posting a 1.74 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in 10.1 innings over six relief appearances.
