Even though the Milwaukee Brewers will likely start the season with 13 pitchers (and Jeremy Jeffress won’t be one of them), it looks like Adrian Houser is coming up short in his bid to make the Opening Day bullpen.
He, along with Jacob Nottingham, were optioned down to minor league camp by the Brewers today. Three other players on minor league contracts that were in big league camp — Jake Hager, Miguel Sanchez, and Burch Smith — were also sent to the minor league side of the complex.
