The Milwaukee Brewers reshuffled their bullpen on August 8 by designating Bryse Wilson for assignment and promoting Lyon Richardson from Triple-A Nashville. This decision comes a day after Wilson pitched three scoreless innings with only one baserunner allowed in an 8-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Brewers manager Pat Murphy called the move difficult, citing the need for a fresh arm as the team navigates a demanding stretch of 17 games in 17 days. Wilson was part of the Brewers’ NL Central championship teams in 2023 and 2024, holding a 2.63 ERA in six appearances this season. Richardson, who had a brief stint with the Cincinnati Reds earlier this year, had previously signed with Milwaukee in June.
