The Brewers signed left-handed reliever Fernando Abad to a minor-league contract on Thursday, according to the club’s transaction log.
The 37-year-old Abad is an 11-year veteran with 406 games of MLB experience, posting a 3.78 ERA and 4.29 FIP.
Abad was a fixture in big-league bullpens from 2013 through 2017, pitching for the Washington Nationals, Oakland Athletics, Minnesota Twins, and Boston Red Sox.
Since then, he has seen sparse big-league action, appearing in 43 games across six seasons while failing to crack the major leagues in 2018, 2020, and 2022.
