Acquired in April in the deal that sent Orlando Arcia to Atlanta, Weigel has made three appearances out of the Milwaukee bullpen this season, giving up two earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out nine in four frames.

Designated for assignment Weigel was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Weigel was thrown four major-league innings this season, allowing two runs while posting a 9:4 K:BB. With a 6.84 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in 25 innings for Triple-A Nashville, he seemingly stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Sent to Triple-A Weigel was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Weigel had been with the team since the start of May for his second stint on the big-league roster. In three total relief appearances, he's allowed two runs on four hits in four innings of work, striking out nine but also walking four. He's likely to continue bouncing between the majors and Triple-A depending on the team's needs but is unlikely to find his way into a high-leverage role. Josh Lindblom (knee) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Braves acquire infielder Arcia from Brewers for 2 pitchers

The Atlanta Braves have acquired infielder Orlando Arcia from the Milwaukee Brewers for right-handed pitchers Chad Sobotka and Patrick Weigel

APRIL 6, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sent packing to Milwaukee The Brewers acquired Weigel and pitched Chad Sobotka from Atlanta on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Orlando Arcia.

Impact A five-year starter at shortstop for Milwaukee, Arcia had moved into a utility role for Milwaukee in 2021 and was seen as expendable, so the Brewers opted to cash him out for a pair of right-handed relievers. Weigel had been a top starting pitching prospect in Atlanta's organization before missing most of the 2018 season following Tommy John surgery. He's since converted to relief duty, and he could emerge as an option out of the big-league bullpen later in 2021. Expect him to begin the season at Triple-A Nashville.
