Mears

Mears was placed on the injured list over the weekend and is probably going to miss at least a couple weeks. The 27-year-old was acquired from the Rockies back at the trade deadline and has struggled in 11 relief outings for Milwaukee.

Mears has been heavily utilized out of the Rockies’ bullpen this season but hasn’t been particularly effective — posting a 5.56 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 57/21 K/BB ratio across his 45 1/3 innings of work. He’ll slot into the middle innings for manager Pat Murphy and isn’t expected to have any relevancy from a fantasy perspective.

In exchange, the Rockies are set to receive minor league right-handers Bradley Blalock and Yujanjer Herrera. Mears, 27, has really struggled out of the Rockies’ bullpen this season — registering a 5.56 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 57/21 K/BB ratio over 45 1/3 innings in 41 appearances. He’ll add depth to the middle of the Brewers’ bullpen, but it’s a bit of a head-scratching move.

Mears has been summoned ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Diamondbacks to provide the Rockies with some extra bullpen depth. The 26-year-old righty has made just five relief appearances this season in the big leagues.

The 26-year-old right-hander had already been on a minor league rehab assignment, so he’ll remain there as he continues his recovery from a left oblique strain.

Mears will kick off a rehab assignment on Friday with the Rockies’ Rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate. He’s presumably a couple weeks away from being an option for Colorado’s pitching mix. He’s been on the shelf since late June due to a left oblique strain.

It’s the same injury that had Mears on the injured list last month. He had made just one appearance since being recalled from Triple-A, throwing a scoreless inning last night against the Dodgers.

Mears missed a few weeks earlier this season with an oblique strain but has struggled since being optioned to Triple-A earlier this month. He will pitch in low-leverage situations and is not a factor for saves at this point.

Mears is fully recovered from a left oblique strain that sent him to the injured list a couple weeks ago and will remain stationed at Triple-A Albuquerque. The 26-year-old righty tossed a scoreless inning on Friday in his lone rehab appearance.

Mears threw 22 pitches (10 strikes) and managed to wriggle out of a bases-loaded jam in his rehab assignment debut. The 26-year-old righty has been on the shelf since mid-May due to a left oblique strain and should be ready to return to Colorado’s bullpen sometime next week.
