The Brewers have outrighted Brandon Kintzler to Triple-A after the right-hander cleared waivers, the team announced via Twitter. Kintzler was designated for assignment earlier this week.
Kintzler posted a 3.24 ERA, 4.8 K/9, 2.5 BB/9 and 57% ground ball rate in 58 1/3 relief innings for Milwaukee last season. The ground ball specialist has a 3.26 ERA over 174 career innings (all with the Brewers). He’s already spent much of the year on the Triple-A roster, though he has only pitched in one game due to a finger injury.
With Kintzler’s situation settled, only three players (Grant Balfour, Daniel Corcino and Todd Redmond) remain in “DFA limbo” according to the MLB Trade Rumors DFA Tracker.
Wow, thought he’d get claimed. A ground ball pitcher making 1 mil, shoulda got on that AA
First good news of the season!
How in the world did Kintzler not get claimed? Am I missing something?
