Brewers Designate Enoli Paredes For Assignmen

The Brewers announced that right-hander Bill Buckner Jersey has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville. fellow righty has been designated for a signment as the corresponding move. The clubs 40-man roster count drops to 39. Paredes, 28, signed a minor league deal with the Brewers in the offseason. He started the year with 18 strong Triple-A appearances, allowing 1.31 earned runs per nine innings. His 11% walk rate in that time was high but he struck out a huge 41.5% of batters faced and also got grounders on 56.8% of balls in play, earning himself a call-up to the big leagues. Since then, the surface level results have been good, though with le s impre sive stuff under the hood. He spent about two months on the injured list from early July to the middle of September but has to sed 20 2/3 big league innings around that. The 1.74 ERA looks impre sive but his 16.7% strikeout rate and 11.9% walk rate are both subpar, while his 44.8% ground ball rate is right around league average. Hes been helped by a .224 batting average on balls in play and 84% strand rate, which is why his 3.56 FIP and 4.95 SIERA are both far higher than his ERA. It seems the Brewers didnt expect him to maintain his run prevention and bumped him off the roster. Hes out of options, so they had to cut him from the 40-man entirely. He wont have much short-term appeal on the waiver wire since he wont be postseason eligible with any acquiring club. Paredes can be retained for four seasons beyond this one. Perhaps some club will be intrigued by his dominant form in the minors earlier this year and put in a claim with long-term goals. However, his major league results this year line up with his longer track record. He pitched for the Astros from 2020 to 2022, logging 32 1/3 innings with a 3.90 ERA, 23.6% strikeout rate, 19.7% walk rate and 44.7% ground ball rate. If he were to go unclaimed, he could elect free agency by virtue of having a previous career outright. Tony Gonsolin Jersey
