CHICAGO (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers have cut another key performer from last year, designating reliever Jeremy Jeffress for assignment on Sunday.Jeffress went 8-1 with a 1.29 ERA and 15 saves in 2018, helping Milwaukee win the NL Central and make it all the way to the NL Championship Series. The right-hander also made the All-Star team for the first time.But Jeffress hasn't been able to find the same form this year. He was hampered by right shoulder weakness during spring training, and then went back on the injured list last Sunday with a strained left hip.Jeffress, who turns 32 on Sept. 21, is 3-4 with a 5.02 ERA and one save in 48 games this season."Unfortunately we just got to a position where at a time in the season where we didn't see him making an impact," manager Craig Counsell said before Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. "It's a little bit of a future decision as well with 40-man roster issues."Milwaukee is three games behind Chicago for the second NL wild card. It is... [More]

CHICAGO (AP) — Milwaukee has designated Jeremy Jeffress for assignment after the reliever played a key role in the Brewers' run to the NL Championship Series last year.Jeffress went 8-1 with a 1.29 ERA and 15 saves in 2018, making the All-Star team for the first time. But the right-hander, who turns 32 on Sept. 21, has struggled this year, going 3-4 with a 5.02 ERA and spending time on the injured list.The Brewers also designated outfielder Troy Stokes Jr. and right-hander Aaron Wilkerson for assignment to create space on their 40-man roster.Right-hander Jimmy Nelson and left-hander Brent Suter were reinstated from the 60-day injured list. First baseman/outfielder Tyler Austin had his contract selected from Triple-A San Antonio.The Brewers also recalled right-handers Jake Faria and Freddy Peralta and catcher David Freitas from San Antonio before Sunday's game against the Cubs.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Injured Brewers pitcher Brent Suter says he's no longer allowed in the dugout during the NL Championship Series. He was with his teammates for Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.Suter tweeted about the situation before Game 2 on Saturday and then deleted his post. A spokesman for Major League Baseball says players who are not on the 40-man roster are not allowed in the dugout during playoff games.Suter tweeted an apology and asked for MLB to let him back in. The gregarious left-hander promised "to behave and be only mildly weird!" before the post was taken down.The 29-year-old Suter went 8-7 with a 4.44 ERA in 20 games this year before he was sidelined by a torn ligament in his left elbow. He was removed from the 40-man roster when he was placed on the 60-day disabled list on July 26.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/tag/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers announced they had claimed right-hander Jordan Lyles off waivers from the San Diego Padres on Sunday.The 27-year-old Lyles is 2-4 with a 4.29 ERA in 24 appearances, including eight starts, this season."He's always had a really good arm. He's proven he has some versatility being able to throw out of the 'pen, and he's made some starts this year," Brewers general manager David Stearns said. "We think he adds to overall level of depth in our pitching staff right now."Lyles, a former first-round pick of the Houston Astros, signed a one-year, $750,000 deal with the Padres to start the season. He has a $3.5 million team option left on his contract for 2019 with a $250,000 buyout."In August trade waivers, whenever you make a claim on the player you have to do so assuming you're going to get the player," Stearns said. "It didn't shock me that we were awarded the claim."Milwaukee is extremely thin in its starting rotation with Brent Suter (left elbow) out for... [More]

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers acquired second baseman Jonathan Schoop in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, adding another option to a crowded infield as they make a push for the playoffs.The Brewers sent second baseman Jonathan Villar and two prospects to Baltimore.Schoop was the second infielder Milwaukee acquired in the last few days before Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline. The Brewers also dealt for third baseman Mike Moustakas from Kansas City. The plan then was for left-handed hitting third baseman Travis Shaw to shift to second base. The 26-year-old Schoop now gives Milwaukee a right-handed option at second.The Brewers have also played Hernan Perez at second of late. The upside of having so many infielders is having another quality bat available on the bench."Really, what it comes down to for us is we think we're getting better and we think we're adding to our overall depth," general manager David Stearns said.The Brewers were in Los Angeles on Tuesday for the second...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers' injury-plagued rotation took another hit Monday when lefty Brent Suter said he would have Tommy John surgery that will end his season."It was pretty crushing news, but I'm kind of starting to accept it a little bit," Suter said before the Brewers played Washington at Miller Park. "It's tough news at the same time."Suter had an MRI earlier in the day that revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He left Milwaukee's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday after three innings when he felt pain — the team initially diagnosed it as a strain, the same injury that led to a stint on the disabled list late last month.Suter said he would have the elbow surgery in the near future.The 28-year-old Suter pitched a career-high 101 1/3 innings this season, going 8-7 with a 4.80 ERA in 20 appearances, including 18 starts. He's helped the Brewers stay near the top of the NL Central race."He'd cemented himself as a member of the rotation and was giving us a chance to win,"... [More]

A look at what's happening around the majors today:YO, YOU GOOD?Yoenis Cespedes and the Mets are awaiting a report and recommendation from doctors after the slugger had an MRI on both feet Monday. Cespedes may need surgery to address calcification on both heels that has bothered him for 15 years, and he said recently that surgery would sideline him for 8-to-10 months.

"I think I know who Josh Hader is, and I personally do not believe that these comments represent who he is as a person."The 24-year-old Hader apologized and took responsibility for the tweets after the game, saying they did not reflect his values or the person he is now.He'll return to a conflicted clubhouse, though teammates seem eager to accept Hader's apologies."It's a lot to deal with.
