Colten Brewer Placed On 60-Day IL With Left Hand Fracture
Chicago Cubs reliever Colten Brewer (hand) broke his left hand after punching a dugout wall in disgust after exiting an appearance Saturday. He has been placed on the 60-day IL with the Cubs selecting the contract of Hunter Bigge from Triple-A Iowa as his replacement. Brewer is 0-2 this season with a 5.66 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 22 2/3 innings. Bigge had six saves at Iowa with a 0.77 ERA.
The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Colten Brewer (back) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a lower-back injury and recalled right-handed pitcher Porter Hodge from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. Brewer last pitched against the Pittsburgh Pirates last Sunday. In a middle-relief role for the Cubs this year, the 31-year-old has been solid for the team, posting a 3.09 ERA (3.20 FIP) and 1.11 WHIP with four walks and 12 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. In six years in the big leagues, Brewer has a 4.78 ERA (5.06 FIP) and 1.70 WHIP with a very mediocre 20.2% strikeout rate and 12.7% walk rate. Hodge, 23, was a 13th-round pick by the Cubs in 2019 and will be making his big-league debut when he enters a game out of the Cubs' bullpen.
Free-agent right-hander Colten Brewer announced on his Instagram account that he has signed an undisclosed deal with the Chicago Cubs. Brewer made three relief appearances for the New York Yankees this past season and also spent time with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball. The 31-year-old will give the Cubbies some relief depth to open the 2024 regular season but he will be well off the fantasy radar. In five years at the major-league level with the Yankees, Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres, Brewer has a 4.98 ERA (8.42 FIP) and 1.77 WHIP with 61 walks and 92 strikeouts in 99 1/3 innings over 84 appearances (four starts).
Right-hander Colten Brewer is expected to sign with a team in Japan after he was released by the New York Yankees last weekend. Brewer only made three relief appearances for the Yankees in his first year with the team in 2023, allowing four earned runs on six hits (three homers) while walking three and striking out four in 8 1/3 innings pitched. The 30-year-old was much better for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 1.35 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, six walks and 23 strikeouts in 20 innings over 15 outings (two starts). In his five big-league seasons, Brewer has a 4.98 ERA (5.28 FIP), 1.77 WHIP, 61 walks and 92 strikeouts in 99 1/3 innings over 84 appearances (four starts) with the Yankees, San Diego Padres and Boston Red Sox.
New York Yankees pitcher Colten Brewer is being added to the team instead of being reassigned to the Tampa Bay Rays minor leagues. Brewer will be added to the Yankees' 40-man roster and likely the 26-man as well. He will act as the 13th pitcher for New York. Brewer pitched to a 0.00 ERA this spring but has a 5.04 career ERA, so he won't be called upon for high leverage situations for the Yankees and can be left alone for fantasy purposes.
The Kansas City Royals announced Monday in a tweet that the team signed right-handed relief pitcher Colten Brewer to a minor league deal. Brewer has appeared in 81 games in the Majors since the 2018 season. He made his debut with the San Diego Padres and has pitched for the Boston Red Sox in each of the last three campaigns. Overall, the 29-year-old owns a 5.04 ERA and a 4.99 FIP with 88 strikeouts and 58 walks allowed in those 91 innings. He allowed four hits, four earned runs, and three walks in his only Major League inning in 2021. Brewer will give Kansas City some additional bullpen depth.
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Colten Brewer was added to the major league roster prior to Friday night's contest against the Miami Marlins, taking the spot vacated by recently-demoted outfielder Franchy Cordero. Brewer will slot into the team's bullpen, but does not currently stand to be a factor for fantasy purposes.
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer has been placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Thursdays contest against Toronto due to a strained finger on his pitching hand. Brewer recently entered the clubs starting rotation, owning a 5.61 ERA across 11 appearances (four starts) this year. He has struggled particularly with walks (14) and home runs (six) in his 25 frames, but his absence will further complicate a Red Sox staff that is facing a staggering influx of injuries. Aside from Martin Perez and Zack Godley, Boston is without healthy consistent starting pitching options moving forward.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Colten Brewer is being stretched out in camp to potentially fill an opener role. The 27-year-old tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Tuesday and allowed only one hit while striking out three. Manager Ron Roenicke said that Brewer could "be a big piece of that" if the team decides to lean toward an opener instead of a fifth starter to open the season due to the injury to Chris Sale (elbow). The right-hander made 58 relief appearances in 2019 and had a 4.12 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 52 K's in 54 2/3 innings. He's unlikely to have much fantasy value, even if he's in the opener role to begin the season.
The Boston Red Sox called up four relief pitchers on Wednesday: Colten Brewer, Bobby Poyner, Mike Shawaryn, and Trevor Kelley. All four have appeared in big league games this season already, led by Brewer with 48 innings of a 4.31 ERA and 44 strikeouts against 31 walks, down to a single three-run inning for Kelley. This is a typical September depth move for the club, and none of the hurlers are fantasy relevant as Brandon Workman is locked into Boston's closer role.
