Roster %
Eligibility
The Milwaukee Brewers traded Ethan Small to the Giants for cash.
Fantasy Impact
Small had been designated for assignment by the Brewers last week. He played across Triple-A and the MLB level with Milwaukee last season. He'll look to earn a spot on the Giants' Opening Day roster out of Spring Training.
The Milwaukee Brewers have designated pitcher Ethan Small for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Small is the 40-man roster casualty following the Brewers' acquisitions of pitcher DL Hall and infielder Joey Ortiz in exchange for ace Corbin Burnes on Thursday. The 26-year-old struggled in brief duty with the Brewers in 2023 but posted a rock-solid 3.18 ERA across 38 appearances at the Triple-A level in 2023.
Ethan Small lasted 3 2/3 innings on the mound for the Brewers Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits while also walking four and striking out three in the Brewers' 7-6 win over the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Small has failed to reach the fourth inning in each of his two starts on the mound for the Brewers this season, posting a 7.11 ERA and 2.53 WHIP in that span. The left-hander should be nowhere near rosters for fantasy managers currently.
Ethan Small has been called-up by Milwaukee on Monday and could start in their matchup against Minnesota on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Small has been called up to fill a rotation spot for the Brewers and looks likely to start one of their games against the Twins. He's been solid for Triple-A Nashville this season, producing a 6-4 record with a 3.34 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 81 strikeouts over 72 2/3 innings. This will be his second appearance for the Brewers this season as he started a game back on May 30 against the Cubs where he allowed two earned runs with four strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings of work.
Brewers SP Ethan Small lasted just 2 2/3 innings on the mound in his first MLB start Monday, allowing two runs on four hits while also walking four and striking out four in the Brewers' 7-6 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Small had a rough first start for the Brewers, failing to keep opposing hitters off-balance Monday. The left-hander may get another opportunity to start with SP Brandon Woodruff headed for a stint on the injured list.
