Peter Strzelecki - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Outrighted to Indy Strzelecki cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Strzelecki was stripped of his roster spot at the end of spring training in favor of Ryan Borucki, but the former will stick with the organization in Triple-A. Strzelecki turned in a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings with the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate last year, and a repeat of those numbers in 2025 would make it hard for him to return to the majors anytime soon.

DFA'd by Pittsburgh GM Ben Cherington announced Wednesday that Strzelecki was designated for assignment, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The right-hander was unable to earn a place on the Pirates' Opening Day roster after being acquired from the Guardians for cash in November, and he'll also lose his place on the 40-man roster to free up space for non-roster invitee Ryan Borucki. Strzelecki had a 2.31 ERA in 10 regular-season appearances with Cleveland last year but also struggled to a 5.01 ERA at the Triple-A level.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Shipped to Pittsburgh The Guardians traded Strzelecki to the Pirates on Friday.

Impact Strzelecki was designated for assignment Tuesday in order to make room for Franco Aleman on the Guardians' 40-man roster, but the former will now claim a spot on Pittsburgh's 40-man upon switching organizations. The 30-year-old put up a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings in the minors last season, and he will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen during spring training.

Ousted from 40-man roster The Guardians designated Strzelecki for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Strzelecki was effective during his time in the majors last season, allowing just three runs over 11.2 innings with the Guardians. However, his 5.01 ERA at Triple-A Columbus makes him significantly less reliable than his MLB statline would suggest, so the team will strip him of his 40-man spot and use it to protect fellow right-hander Franco Aleman from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact He's clearing out to make room for Tuesday's starter, Matthew Boyd. Strzelecki has permitted three runs with a 9:3 K:BB over 11.2 relief innings for the Guardians this season.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins major-league club The Guardians recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

Impact Strzelecki has allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings during his time with Cleveland this season. He'll give the bullpen a fresh arm.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed back to minors The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Impact The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for left-hander Joey Cantillo, who will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Phillies. Strzelecki made four outings out of the Guardians' bullpen since being recalled from Columbus on July 21. Over those four outings, the 29-year-old right-hander allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings. In 29 Triple-A appearances this season, Strzelecki has a 4.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 32.1 innings.

Moves up to big leagues The Guardians recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Impact He'll join the Cleveland bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Spencer Howard, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Strzelecki tossed 5.2 scoreless innings over four relief appearances with Cleveland earlier this season but has otherwise spent the entire 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he's turned in a 4.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 32.1 frames.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Impact He's clearing out to make room for Xzavion Curry, who will start Monday's game. Strzelecki is unscored upon in two appearances during his brief time with the Guardians this season.

APRIL 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Booted off 40-man roster The Diamondbacks designated Strzelecki for assignment Monday.

Impact A trade-deadline pickup from the Brewers last August, Strzelecki made only one appearance for Arizona after he struggled to an 8.76 ERA and 2.31 WHIP over his 12.1 innings at Triple-A Reno following the deal. Strzelecki will be ticketed for a relief role at Reno to begin the 2024 campaign, but he'll first have to pass through waivers after Arizona moved him off the 40-man roster Monday.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down following twin bill Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Strzelecki served as the 27th man during Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres and allowed a hit and two walks during 1.1 scoreless relief innings. He'll head back to the minors but could rejoin the Diamondbacks at some point if they need additional bullpen help.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted as 27th man The Diamondbacks recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Reno ahead of Saturday's doubleheader with the Padres, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Since being traded from Milwaukee in exchange for Andrew Chafin ahead of the deadline, Strzelecki has surrendered three runs in just 4.1 innings with Triple-A Reno. He'll now join the D-backs' bullpen for the first time to provide extra depth for Saturday's twin bill, but there's no guarantee Arizona uses him based on his recent struggles.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealt to Arizona Strzelecki was traded from the Brewers to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for Andrew Chafin, John Gamdaboro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

Impact Strzelecki has a 3.69 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 70.2 career MLB innings, but he has split time between the majors and Triple-A each of the last two seasons. He could work in the middle innings for Arizona over the rest of the season.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to majors The Brewers recalled Stzelecki from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact Strzelecki had been a key setup man for Milwaukee through the first two months of the season, but he failed to record a hold or save and turned in a 5.73 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in his final 10 appearances for the Brewers before being optioned to Nashville on June 28. He allowed earned runs in each of his three appearances upon being demoted to Triple-A but had been sharp of late, allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks while striking out six over four innings in his most recent four outings. It's unclear if the Brewers plan to immediately incorporate Strzelecki as part of the bridge to closer Devin Williams or if he'll first have to work in lower-leverage spots before working his way up the bullpen pecking order.

Brewers send right-handed reliever Strzelecki to minors, call up lefty Pannone

The Milwaukee Brewers have sent right-handed reliever Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A Nashville and promoted left-hander Thomas Pannone

JUNE 28, 2023

Optioned to Triple-A level Milwaukee optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Thomas Pannone has been selected from Nashville in a corresponding move. Strzelecki, 28, carries a 4.54 ERA and 37:8 K:BB in 35.2 innings of work this season at the big-league level and should get another chance soon enough.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes fifth loss Strzelecki (3-5) blew the save and took the loss in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Orioles. He allowed three runs on three hits while striking out three over one inning.

Impact Strzelecki, called upon to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning, served up a two-run shot to Gunnar Henderson en route to the 6-3 loss. Strzelecki hadn't allowed a run in six of his previous seven outings. His ERA now stands at 4.40 despite a solid 1.12 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB. The 28-year-old right-hander should continue to operate as Milwaukee's primary setup option in front of Devin Williams.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies 10th hold Strzelecki tossed 1.1 scoreless innings and picked up his 10th hold of the season in Tuesday's victory over the Cardinals.

Impact Strzelecki allowed three runners to reach base, but he also kept the opponent off the scoreboard for the 17th time in 20 appearances this season. Save for an outing in early May in which he allowed five earned runs, Strzelecki has been outstanding out of the Brewers' bullpen, and he will continue holding down the setup role in front of closer Devin Williams.

'Stay with me:' On the anniversary of his dad's passing, Peter Strzelecki threw a scoreless inning — with a little help from above For the first time since his dad passed away six years ago, Strzelecki took the mound on the anniversary.

APRIL 26, 2023 • JSONLINE.COM

Summoned in setup spot Strzelecki tossed a clean eighth inning and picked up his third hold of the season in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Padres.

Impact With the Brewers looking to protect a one-run lead in the bottom of the eighth, Strzelecki was summoned from the bullpen rather than Matt Bush, who opened the season in the setup role but has not been particularly effective. Strzelecki came through in a big way, retiring all three batters he faced and notching his seventh scoreless appearance of the season. There has not been an official changing of the guard in front of closer Devin Williams, but given how Strzelecki and Bush have fared early on, there is a chance that could occur.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Off to strong start Strzelecki tossed 1.1 scoreless innings and picked up his second hold of the season in Thursday's victory over the Padres.

Impact Strzelecki became a reliable reliever for the Brewers last season, and he has been that and some early on in the 2023 campaign, firing 6.1 scoreless frames over six appearances while allowing just five runners to reach base. He currently slots in as the third option in the Brewers' bullpen behind closer Devin Williams and setup man Matt Bush, but Bush has not been particularly sharp since joining the Brewers last August, so it's possible he could move up a peg in the pecking order.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures roster spot Strzelecki, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, secured a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster.

Impact Strzelecki was not particularly sharp during spring training, but the 2.83 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB he posted over 35.0 innings out of Milwaukee's bullpen in 2022 helped him break camp with the big club for the first time in his career. Roles are up for grabs in the Brewers' bullpen behind closer Devin Williams, and Strzelecki will have a chance to be part of the late-inning mix.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first career save Strzelecki picked up the save with a clean inning in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Diamondbacks. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact Strzelecki entered the game in the ninth inning with a 3-0 lead and set Arizona down in order to earn the first save of his career. The save opportunity was likely a product of the Brewers being out of playoff contention and manager Craig Counsell opting to give some of the younger players a look. Over 35 innings this season Strzelecki went 2-1 with one save and four holds with 40 strikeouts.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled Saturday Strzelecki was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Strzelecki was sent to the minors in early August but will rejoin the Brewers' bullpen after Trevor Gott (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Over seven relief appearances in the majors this year, Strzelecki has posted a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings.
