The Milwaukee Brewers have designated pitcher Rob Zastryzny for assignment as of September 17, 2026. Zastryzny, who joined the Brewers in 2023, did not make it to the big league roster in 2026 due to injuries that limited him to only nine games at Triple-A Nashville. Milwaukee is currently positioned to secure the best record in MLB and will likely win the NL Central title this weekend, holding a three-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Zastryzny turning 35 in the off-season, his future in the sport is uncertain, and retirement could be a possibility as he recovers from shoulder and trapezius injuries.
