Dealt to Milwaukee The Brewers acquired Mears from the Rockies on Saturday in exchange for right-handers Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mears will provide depth to a Brewers bullpen that has recently lost two key relievers in Rob Zastryzny (elbow) and Bryan Hudson (oblique) to injuries. The 27-year-old right-hander logged a 5.56 ERA in 45.1 innings with Colorado this season but has some encouraging underlying metrics, including a 3.00 xERA. The Brewers have a knack for getting the most out of underperforming pitchers, and it looks like they'll attempt to do the same with Mears.

Dealt to Milwaukee The Brewers acquired Mears from the Rockies on Saturday in exchange for Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Battling several injuries in the bullpen, Mears figures to deliver immediate bullpen depth for the Brewers. The 27-year-old right-hander logged a 5.56 ERA in 45.1 innings with Colorado this season but has some encouraging underlying metrics, including a 3.00 xERA and a .366 BABIP. The Brewers have a knack for getting the most out of underperforming pitchers and it looks like they'll attempt to do the same with Mears.

Blows save versus Milwaukee Mears (1-4) was tagged with the loss and a blown save after he allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning Tuesday against the Brewers.

Impact Mears didn't give up any hard contact as the two hits against him were infield singles, but he was unable to get through the frame on 39 pitches. It's the second blown save of the season for the right-hander, who remains without a save but has seven holds. Closer Tyler Kinley threw three innings over the past two days, which opened the door for Mears to get a save chance.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • Associated Press

Returns to big leagues Mears was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mears has yielded two runs over seven innings at the major-league level this season and had been pitching well of late with Albuquerque. He's taking Tommy Doyle's spot on the roster.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated and optioned Colorado activated Mears (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Impact Mears is recovered from the left oblique strain that sent him to the IL in late June, but the Rockies will keep him on the farm for the time being. He carries a rough 7.16 ERA in 16.1 innings of work this season at the Triple-A level.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Mears (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with the Rockies' Arizona Complex League affiliate Friday.

Impact Mears has been on the shelf since late June with a left oblique strain but is finally ready for games. Given the lengthy absence, he would figure to require a good number of rehab appearances and isn't necessarily a lock to be re-added to the Rockies' bullpen once ready.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not yet ready for mound work Mears (oblique) has been playing catch since late July but hasn't yet been cleared to throw off a mound, MLB.com reports.

Impact Mears has been slow to bounce back from a left oblique strain, which forced him to the 15-day injured list June 28. Since he'll need to throw multiple bullpen sessions, face hitters in live batting practice and complete a rehab assignment prior to being activated, Mears doesn't look as though he'll be ready to rejoin the Rockies bullpen until late August at the soonest.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 15-day IL Colorado placed Mears on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with oblique injury Mears left Tuesday's appearance against the Dodgers with a strained left oblique, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact The left-hander threw a scoreless inning before leaving in favor of Matt Koch. For now Mears should be considered day-to-day, but the Rockies will likely have him undergo further testing to see if he needs to spend time on the 15-day injured list.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues Mears was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Mears recovered from his oblique strain in early June but was sent to Triple-A after being activated from the injured list by the Rockies. He allowed two earned runs with eight strikeouts over six innings for Colorado before going down with the injury in mid-May.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 15-day IL Mears was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Rockies on Monday with a left oblique strain, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

The right-hander turned in a 1.27 ERA in seven innings during Cactus League play with 11 strikeouts, but he also walked six while allowing four hits in those contests. Mears will likely be an up-and-down option for the Colorado bullpen through the 2023 season.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • Associated Press

Claimed by Rockies The Rockies claimed Mears off waivers from Texas on Friday.

Impact After spending just four days with the Rangers organization, Mears is on the move for the second time this offseason. The 26-year-old reliever recorded a 4.80 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in the minors last season, though he was able to throw two scoreless frames in the majors at the very end of the year. The Rockies are starving for depth in their bullpen, so it's very possible Mears begins the 2023 season in the majors.

Designated for assignment Mears was designated for assignment Sunday.

Impact The Pirates acquired Connor Joe in a trade with Colorado and needed to clear a 40-man roster spot. A 26-year-old righty, Mears has a 97-mph fastball, but he also has a poor 14.9 percent walk rate in 30.1 MLB innings. He could get another shot in the majors if he can improve his control.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins big-league bullpen The Pirates recalled Mears from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
