Lance McCullers Jr. has been designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers just under two weeks after being acquired from the Houston Astros. This decision follows a lackluster performance where he walked four batters in 1⅔ innings during a recent game against the Colorado Rockies.
In his brief time with the Brewers, McCullers recorded a 3.86 ERA over two relief appearances. The team has recalled Garrett Stallings from Triple-A Nashville to fill the roster spot, as McCullers struggled to adapt to a bullpen role after primarily being a starter throughout his career.
Watch how the Brewers adjust their bullpen strategy following McCullers' departure. With Stallings back, fans should monitor his performance closely, especially as the team navigates the late-season push. McCullers' future in a bullpen role remains uncertain.
