56 Aaron Wilkerson RP

Wilkerson was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday.

Wilkerson has allowed 10 runs over nine innings with the Brewers this season and should once again serve in a low-leverage role. Adrian Houser was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Brewers optioned Wilkerson to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday.

Wilkerson served as the Brewers' 26th man in Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates and had a disastrous relief appearance in the second game. He pitched the eighth inning of the 6-2 loss, surrendering three hits -- all solo home runs. Wilkerson should settle back into a starting role for Colorado Springs after being optioned.

Wilkerson was recalled to serve as the 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

The right-hander will provide some extra depth in the bullpen before likely heading right back down to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Wilkerson bounced back from a shaky 2018 debut with the big club to toss five innings of two-run ball against Atlanta last week.

Wilkerson was solid in Saturday's spot-start for the Brewers, but will nonetheless return to Colorado Springs as the team makes a flurry of roster moves. The 29-year-old has a 2.08 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in seven starts with the Sky Sox in 2018.

Wilkerson (0-1) allowed two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings to take the loss Saturday against the Braves.

Wilkerson was effective in his spot start duties, limiting the Braves to only extra-base hit. His velocity was far from elite -- his average fastball velocity was 88.9 -- but he mixed pitches well, throwing all four of his offerings at least 10 times. It remains to be seen how long he will remain in the rotation with Zach Davies (shoulder), Wade LeBlanc (oblique), and Brent Suter (forearm) all on undetermined timelines. However, Wilkerson acquitted himself well Saturday and made the case for at least one more turn in the rotation.
