The Brewers optioned Yoho to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Yoho was called up to the majors for his first major-league stint April 21 and got into five contests while with the big club. The right-hander struggled, however, posting a 9.53 ERA and 2.29 WHIP with a 4:6 K:BB over 5.2 innings. In a corresponding move Saturday, Milwaukee recalled pitcher Elvin Rodriguez from Nashville.

Brewers' Craig Yoho: Officially added to roster
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Yoho's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Yoho had spun 9.2 innings while allowing just on unearned run with Nashville to begin the season, striking out nine and walking three along the way. The changeup artist boasts a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in his minor-league career. Yoho is one of the best relief pitching prospects in baseball and could eventually be pitching in the late innings.

Brewers' Craig Yoho: Cut from major-league camp
Rotowire
The Brewers reassigned Yoho to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Yoho was arguably the team's most impressive pitcher this spring, allowing just one run and two hits with a 12:3 K:BB over 7.1 innings. However, he's not yet on the 40-man roster, and that worked against him breaking camp with the big club. Yoho should still receive his first promotion to the majors later in 2025.

Brewers' Craig Yoho: Working with big club
Rotowire
Yoho threw a scoreless inning of relief in Wednesday's exhibition game.
The 25-year-old rose rapidly through the minor-league ranks last season and is competing for a relief spot with the big club. Even if he secures one it's unlikely he jumps into a key role with just 14.1 career innings above the Double-A level, but he tallied 10 saves last season and owns both a 15.5 K/9 as a professional. He features and elite changeup and is worth keeping an eye on this spring.
