Brewers Reacquire Pitcher Zastryzny from Yankees, Option Peguero to Triple-A

The Milwaukee Brewers reacquired left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny from the New York Yankees in exchange for cash, adding him to their active roster and optioning right-handed pitcher Elvis Peguero to Triple-A Nashville. Zastryzny, 33, had a strong performance with the Brewers last season, posting a 1.17 ERA over nine appearances before an elbow tendinitis injury ended his campaign prematurely. This season, he has pitched solely in Triple-A with the Yankees' affiliate, recording a 4.50 ERA in 13 games. Over his MLB career, Zastryzny has a 4-0 record with a 4.30 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 54 appearances, and he has played for several teams including the Cubs, Mets, Angels, Pirates, and Brewers. Peguero, 28, has struggled somewhat this season with a 4.91 ERA in six relief appearances for Milwaukee. The Brewers made this move to bolster their bullpen's left-handed options following command issues with other pitchers.
