This time bringing up rookie pitcher Garrett Stallings. This move comes after they send down another rookie, Brandon Sprote following a rough outing where he walked four batters in his only appearance. Since being promoted, it's a quick turnaround for Sprote who was just called up to replace an injured pitcher. Stallings, also a rookie, wasn't his high profile as Sprote who was acquired in a big off-season trade. Stallings was originally a fifth round draft pick back in 2019.

He's been time in the Orioles system before being traded to the Brewers this year. Stallings has been working his way up through their minor league system, putting up solid numbers in AAA Nashville. He's had a few appearances in the majors already this season, and so far, he's been lights

1:03out with a zero earned run average. Now, the 29-year-old is getting another chance to prove himself at the big league level. His last major league outing was back on August 3rd, where he pitched three scoreless innings and struck out four. He's shown he can handle himself, and the Brewers are hoping he can provide a boost to the bullpen with the regular season winding down.

It's a tough business, and for rookies like Sprow and Stallings, every opportunity counts. We'll see if Stallings can stick this time around.
