Milwaukee southpaw Rob Zastryzny found himself back on the 15-day injured list Wednesday after spending only three days on the active roster, as the Brewers sidelined him due to a left trapezius strain.
The roster move was made retroactive to Sunday, which was the same date the 34-year-old pitcher was brought back from the 60-day injured list following a left shoulder strain he suffered during spring training.
To fill the roster spot, Milwaukee brought up southpaw Robert Gasser from Triple-A Nashville, with the team announcing he would take the mound for Wednesday evening’s home matchup against the San Francisco Giants.
During his brief stint on Milwaukee’s active roster, Zastryzny did not appear in any games. Last season with the Brewers, he posted a 2-1 record alongside a 2.45 ERA across 22 innings in 26 outings, including one start.
Throughout his major league career, Zastryzny has compiled a 6-1 record with a 3.84 ERA, recording 41 walks and 74 strikeouts across 89 innings in 80 appearances (six starts) while playing for the Chicago Cubs (2016-18), New York Mets (2022), Los Angeles Angels (2022), Pittsburgh Pirates (2023) and Brewers (2024-present).
Gasser, who celebrated his 27th birthday on Sunday, has struggled this season with an 0-1 record and 6.48 ERA, allowing six walks while striking out seven batters in 8 1/3 innings across two starts.
Since making his major league debut on May 10, 2024, he holds a 2-3 record with a 3.43 ERA over 42 innings in nine starts.
