Brewers Send Joel Payamps Outright to Triple-A Nashville After He Clears Waivers
- On May 29, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers sent 31-year-old right-handed reliever Joel Payamps outright to their Triple-A Nashville affiliate after he cleared waivers.
- The Brewers designated Payamps for assignment a week earlier due to his struggles this season, marked by a high earned run average and limited effectiveness.
- Payamps had been a key bullpen contributor for Milwaukee over the past two years, helping the team win consecutive NL Central titles despite recent performance declines.
- This season, Payamps holds a 0-1 record, one save, an 8.35 ERA, 16 strikeouts over 18⅓ innings in 23 appearances, contrasting with past seasons of better results.
- The move implies the Brewers seek to improve bullpen performance by shifting Payamps to the minors while he maintains readiness with Triple-A Nashville.
