Brewers Select Thomas Pannone
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers have selected the contract of left-hander Thomas Pannone, adding him to the active roster and optioning right-hander Garrett Stallings to Triple-A Nashville.
- Pannone will start today’s game, replacing Shane Drohan, who has been pushed back to start on Friday following an off-day on Thursday.
- Pannone, 32, returns to the majors for the first time since 2023, having previously pitched for the Brewers and Blue Jays, and also spent time in the KBO with a 3.49 ERA over 165 innings.
- After undergoing surgery for a torn flexor tendon in 2024 spring training, Pannone has pitched in Triple-A this year with a 4.13 ERA and decent control, though his strikeout rate is below average.
- Since Pannone is out of minor league options, the Brewers may designate him for assignment after his start unless they decide to keep him in a bullpen role.
