" Bryse Wilson to Brewers. Robert Murray on it," Heyman wrote on X.
This was a necessary signing after the Brewers lost Kyle Harrison to an injury, creating a need for another pitcher. Significantly, ace Jacob Misiorowski has struggled, and Brennan Bernardino Sproat, Shane Drohan , and Logan Henderson have been inconsistent. Along with Woodruff, Quinn Priester and Coleman Crow are also on the mend.

Wilson has 0-0 with a 6.52 ERA in three games this season. Overall, he is 20-23 with a 4.86 ERA in 166 games. At one point, Wilson was one of the best prospects in the Atlanta Braves' system. His career highlight included a Game 4 start in the 2020 NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers . But the struggles began soon after, and he became a reliever.

The Brewers will likely use him out of the bullpen, and he has posted a 2.58 ERA over 53 relief appearances. Yet, with their starters hurting, they could utilize Wilson earlier in the games to give the rest of their bullpen some rest. His experience as a starter and reliever gives the Brewers some flexibility about what they are going to do with him.
