Drew Rom: Everything you need to know

The Brewers selected Rom's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. With Brian Fitzpatrick (elbow) becoming the third Brewers reliever to land on the injured list in the past two days, the team will turn to Rom to provide depth to its bullpen. The 26-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, but he's posted a 2.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP to go with a 37:8 K:BB through 25.2 innings at Nashville this season.

Rom (undisclosed) is scheduled to make a relief appearance in Monday's Cactus League game against the Padres, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The 26-year-old lefty appears to be healthy again after having his past two seasons wiped out by injury. He didn't pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from shoulder surgery, then made just seven appearances in the minors in 2025 before being shut down in June with an unspecified injury. Rom signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers over the winter and will likely be ticketed for the rotation at Triple-A Nashville to open the 2026 season.

The Brewers signed Rom (undisclosed) to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Rom missed the entire 2024 season following left shoulder surgery and in 2025 made his last appearance with Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization on June 5 due to an undisclosed injury. It's unclear what his current health is, but the Brewers felt good enough about his status to invite him to spring training. Rom will likely begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Nashville.
