Brewers Outright Alec Bettinger

By Anthony Franco | May 19, 2022 at 8:01pm CDT

The Brewers announced that right-hander Alec Bettinger has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Nashville. There’d be no prior indication he’d been designated for assignment, so the move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. That tally now sits at 37.

Bettinger, 26, has four MLB appearances under his belt. Those all came last season, when he worked ten innings of 15-run ball. That obviously wasn’t the way Bettinger wanted to start his career, as he surrendered a trio of home runs while walking three and striking out five. He had a more solid showing over a larger body of work in Nashville, however. Over 96 2/3 frames in a hitter-friendly environment, the University of Virginia product posted a 4.75 ERA with a solid 23.6% strikeout rate and a 6.3% walk percentage.

This season, Bettinger has made a pair of appearances for the Sounds. He tossed five innings of four-run ball before losing his roster spot, which he’ll now try to reclaim. It’s the first career outright for Bettinger, so he doesn’t have the right to refuse a minor league assignment. He’ll remain with the organization and look to pitch his way back to the majors.

    Well see now you can add Turang, Small and Barker to your 40 man roster now . See now everybody can be happy I didn’t say release Cain and bring up Dahl lol

      Yeah, I’m probably a little to attached to the security and lengthy/successful career Cain has to cut bait yet. I thought Dahl had time as an outfielder in left or right, so he’d only be another bench bat if you put Taylor as the full time CF and have no good backup for him. I can agree on Turang coming up – we need a better answer than Jace or Brosseau – they do better off the bench. I don’t know enough about the AAA guys to have a good idea who is playing their way onto the roster, but at this point in the year, someone surely has turned heads… maybe Turang is ready?
