Peter Strzelecki: Everything you need to know

Strzelecki recorded two strikeouts in a scoreless inning during Sunday's Cactus League game against the White Sox. Strzelecki suffered a right elbow strain last season but has since put the injury behind him. The 31-year-old looked sharp in his first action of the spring, firing 11 of his 13 pitches for strikes. Strzelecki inked a minor-league deal with the Brewers earlier in February and will continue to compete for a bullpen spot as camp rolls on.

The Brewers signed Strzelecki (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Strzelecki was limited to 22 innings at the Triple-A level in 2025 due to a right elbow strain, posting a 9.41 ERA and 18:13 K:BB. He last pitched in mid-July and it's unclear whether he'll have any restrictions at the start of spring training. Strzelecki holds a 3.44 ERA and 86:30 K:BB over 83.2 frames in the majors, which includes a 36-appearance stint with Milwaukee in 2023.

Triple-A Durham placed Strzelecki on its 7-day injured list Monday due to a right elbow strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Strzelecki inked a minor-league contract with the Rays earlier this month and had made only two appearances for Durham before getting hurt. The Rays haven't provided a timeline for when he might be ready to return to action for the Triple-A club.
