We are hopeful we will be able to keep him in our system.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Lamet finished fourth in Cy Young Award voting in 2020 but has battled injuries and shaky performance since, pitching to a 5.46 earned run average over 59 \u2153 innings over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Why Brewers decided to designate Lamet for assignment <\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">By designating Lamet, 30, for assignment, any other team can claim him and add him to their 40-man roster.  If he hits waivers, he may be outrighted by the Brewers to a minor-league roster or released. <\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While there was no guarantee he would perform at the level the Brewers needed, having allowed 12 earned runs over his last seven innings, the team had spoken in recent days of their belief in the ability for him to be a key piece of the bullpen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cI think it was important to us to feel like we were stabilizing our bullpen, understanding how big a piece Josh is to that and has been,\u201d Stearns said Monday about Lamet and Taylor Rogers, the other big-league reliever sent to Milwaukee in the trade.  \u201cSo to be able to bring back two major-league pieces that fit into that group, I think it&#8217;s helpful.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Said Brewers manager Craig Counsell on Tuesday: \u201cThis is a guy that&#8217;s been elite in this league.  He&#8217;s gone through a lot of injuries and he&#8217;s gone through some struggles.  You&#8217;re taking a shot at trying to help him a little bit and getting him back there.  But I think you ask any hitter and anybody that&#8217;s been on the sidelines watching him pitch when he has been good, and he it&#8217;s the best slider in baseball when he was good. <\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cWe&#8217;ve got to work to get there, but obviously there&#8217;s a lot of talent there and we are acquiring a player with a lot of talents and kind of see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The reasoning for the DFA, as explained by the Brewers: Lamet had recently cleared the five-year service time threshold, meaning he could refuse a demotion to the minor leagues.  Left with a roster crunch, as featured by Stearns, the Brewers had to clear an active roster spot and saw Lamet as the last guy in the bullpen. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">One of the reasons Lamet was included in the return for Hader, a three-time National League reliever of the year, was to help even the amount of salary taken on by both sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">But if he was going to be a DFA candidate two days later after adding only two more players to the roster \u2013 a relatively low number considering the flurry of activity teams undergo at the deadline \u2013 the move remains puzzling. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_fo__bet-best\" aria-label=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"comment\"><!--@pre<iframe class=gnt_em_fo_if src=\"\/tangfrag\/sports\/gaming\/bet-best?prm-embedded&prm-teamid=236&prm-gnteamid=2976&prm-league=MLB#fhp-assetid=10225266002\" loading=lazy sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms\" title=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\"><\/iframe>--><\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">There also remains the question of why Lamet was the player on the active roster chosen as the one to be designated for assignment considering his upside. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Brewers recall Keston Hiura;  Pedro Severino designated for assignment<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Brewers also recalled Keston Hiura from Class AAA and designated catcher Pedro Severino for assignment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Hiura had been one of the team&#8217;s better hitters with an OPS of .805 prior to being optioned on July 13 but did not have an optimal fit on the roster as currently constructed.  The Brewers instead opted to carry three catchers, an experiment that has now run its course. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Severino missed the season&#8217;s first 80 games while suspended for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug and, even after returning, saw sporadic playing time.  He played in eight games, going 4 for 18 at the plate, and struck out as a pinch hitter in a critical spot Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Reliever Matt Bush, acquired via trade from Texas late Monday night, was activated and Peter Strzelecki was optioned to Class AAA.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_hf gnt_em__lp\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"method\"
