Brewers Cut 26-Year-Old Pitcher
Recently, the Brewers announced the news that they had designated Drew Rom for assignment.
MLB.com wrote (on August 9): “Milwaukee Brewers designated LHP Drew Rom for assignment.”
Looking at Rom
Rom had been in the middle of his first season with the Brewers.
He went 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA in five games.
It will be interesting to see if another team claims him on waivers.
There is also the chance that the 26-year-old returns to their Triple-A affiliate.
Rom was initially picked in the 4th round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles.
He spent his rookie season (2023) with the St. Louis Cardinals, appearing in eight games.
Looking at the Brewers Right Now
The Brewers are in the middle of an incredible season, as they appear to be legitimate contenders to reach the 2026 World Series.
Right now, they are the first-place team in the National League Central with a 74-44 record in 118 games.
Over their last ten games, the Brewers have gone 7-3 (and they are 33-22 in 55 games on the road).

Following their series in San Diego, the Brewers will remain on the road to visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
