Brewers Outright Tyler Cravy, Select Rob Scahill

By Jeff Todd | June 30, 2017 at 2:43pm CDT

The Brewers have outrighted right-hander Tyler Cravy, per a club announcement. Milwaukee selected the contract of righty Rob Scahill while optioning righty Jorge Lopez — after just one outing — to open an active roster spot.

A need for fresh arms in the pen drove the decision. Obviously, Cravy himself represented an option, but evidently Milwaukee wasn’t swayed by his work this year at Triple-A.

Cravy, who’ll soon turn 28, worked to a 2.86 ERA over 28 1/3 MLB innings last year, with 7.0 K/9 against 3.8 BB/9. He also sported an intriguing 11.3% swinging-strike rate. But he had struggled during his time at Colorado Springs, and that continued in 2017. Over 26 2/3 frames thus far at the highest level of the minors, Cravy owns a 5.06 ERA with 7.1 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9.

Instead, the club will go with Scahill, who has himself been removed from the 40-man roster once already this year. The 30-year-old, a six-year MLB veteran, managed only five strikeouts (while issuing nine walks, three of which were intentional) in his 17 2/3 MLB innings prior to that move. Scahill has gone on to post much better numbers at Tripe-A, with a 2.45 ERA and 6.9 K/9 against 1.5 BB/9 in his 16 appearances.

    Milwaukee must really hate Cravy.

      You mean his ERA from last year? Dudes got a 5.06 ERA this year. I mean I’m still a little surprised they booted him, but its not a huge loss.

    Scahill takes Anderson’s spot in the rotation and outrighting Cravy keeps an open spot on the 40-man.

      Is there a link for this? Scahill has never made a MLB start and hasn’t worked from the rotation regularly in the minors since 2012.

      Does look like they have an open 40-man spot, though the post doesn’t suggest otherwise.

        My error. I got mistaken on which between Scahill and Suter made the spot start in the doubleheader.

        The Brewers do have a opening on their 40-man and they’ve kept it open through the last few transaction.

      Why not just see how hader does in the rotation? I can see the Brewers point where they need leftys in the pen. But hader’s future is in the rotation

        Milwaukee is committed to limiting Hader’s innings this year.

        They still might, but probably not this time around. They’re not going to use him for a spot start, only if it would be a permanent move to the rotation, like when Garza inevitably melts down so badly we try to move him to the pen and he throws a hissy fit and ends his tenure with the Brewers.
