Jeremy Jeffress, who spent two seasons with the Kansas City Royals, was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday just one year removed from his terrific 2018 season. The 31-year old was a reliable arm in the back end of the Brewers bullpen last season, striking out 89 batters in 73 appearances all to the tune of a 1.29 ERA.
His efforts earned him an All-Star selection. Jeffress tossed a 3.82 ERA in the first half of this season but really struggled in the second half, allowing opponents to bat 0.333 off him in 16.
