Right-hander Colten Brewer has opted out of his minor league deal with the Yankees, reports MLBTR’s Steve Adams. He was on the temporarily inactive list in recent days due to his wife giving birth.
Brewer, 32, signed a minor league deal with the Yanks in the winter. He reported to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and tossed 29 2/3 innings over 22 appearances with a 3.94 earned run average. His 12.7% walk rate was on the high side but he struck out 27.1% of batters faced and kept 44.9% of balls in play on the ground.
The righty also has 120 innings of big league experience with a 5.10 ERA, though it’s come in scattered fashion, dating back to his 2018 debut. Most recently, he tossed 20 2/3 innings for the Cubs last year. The 5.66 ERA with the Cubs wasn’t especially impressive but his 23.2% strikeout rate, 9.5% walk rate and 44.3% ground ball rate were all respectable figures. His overall results were undercut by a .371 batting average on balls in play and 55.2% strand rate. His 3.12 FIP and 3.86 SIERA suggested he deserved better.
Brewer will now head out to the open market and see what kind of opportunities are available to him. Given the rate of pitching injuries around the league and his recent numbers, he should be getting some calls.
