Brewers Cut Former MLB All-Star
Ahead of Sunday’s game, the Brewers announced that they had designated Lance McCullers Jr. for assignment.
He had been acquired in a trade (via the Houston Astros) earlier this month.
Underdog MLB wrote: “Lance McCullers Jr. designated for assignment by the Brewers.”
McCullers Jr. appeared in two games for the Brewers.
It will be interesting to see if anyone claims him.
The 32-year-old is a two-time World Series Champion (and former All-Star).
Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Hunter Baumgardt: “After just 4.2 innings over 2 outings, Lance McCullers Jr. has been DFA’d by the Brewers. Garrett Stallings has been recalled.”
Michael Schwab: “I really wish the Brewers actually gave McCullers a chance. Looks like they put him at long relief immediately and didn’t want to try further.”
@BrewtalTakes: “Honestly I’m hoping that McCullers clears waivers and takes the AAA pitching lab assignment. Could be a huge late season piece if he can find his groove.”
Adam Spolane: “The Lance McCullers Jr era in Milwaukee lasted less than two weeks”
Talkin’ Baseball: “Brewers have DFA’d Lance McCullers He made two relief appearances for Milwaukee, allowing two earned runs in 4.2 innings while striking out five and allowing three hits and five walks”
