Thu May 28 2015 | 22:04 | Wooten outrighted off Brewers' 40-man roster Thursday |
Wooten was outrighted off the Brewers' 40-man roster Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. |
The Brewers announced earlier in the day that Wooten would be optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs, but it wasn't apparent until hours later that he had been outrighted off the 40-man roster. After being rocked for eight runs and posting a 6:6 K:BB ratio over six innings with the Brewers, the soft-tossing Wooten likely won't draw much interest from other teams via trade or waivers. |

After pitching 1.2 innings and giving up five runs in the Brewers' 14-4 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday, Wooten will be sent back down to the minors. Wooten was called up from Colorado Springs a few weeks ago, but was unable to make the most of his time in the majors, giving up a total of eight runs in six innings pitched. Brandon Kintzler will be recalled from Colorado Springs and take Wooten's spot in the bullpen. |

Wooten has struggled to begin the season, allowing five runs on three home runs in 6.1 innings in Triple-A, but the stats can be skewed with the thinner air in Colorado Springs. He'll take Tyler Thornburg's spot in the Brewers' bullpen, though he'll likely be limited to low-leverage situations. |

With Wooten out of the mix, Tyler Thornburg and Michael Blazek figure to occupy the final two spots in Milwaukee's bullpen. Wooten will likely be near the top of the list for potential call-ups, in the event the Brewers need another right-handed reliever. |

Wooten has been called up from Triple-A Nashville, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports. |
Wooten, who was sent down to Nashville on July 21, will return to fill the roster spot vacated by Matt Garza (oblique), who was placed on the DL on Tuesday. Wooten has split the season between the Brewers and Triple-A and holds a 1-4 record with a 4.36 ERA in 33.0 major league innings. It's unknown how long he'll remain with Milwaukee, as another move will likely be made when Garza's turn in the rotation comes up later in the week. |

Thu Aug 15 2013 | 23:17 | Rob Wooten pitches perfect inning |
Rob Wooten struck out two in a perfect inning Thursday and hasn't allowed a run in 11 innings since being called up by the Brewers. |
If only the Brewers had received the kind of luck with the bullpen last year that they have this year, there's a great chance they would have been a playoff team. Wooten doesn't project as a closer or anything going forward, but he's had great success with his mid-80s cutter so far. |
