Brewers' Easton McGee: Summoned to majors
Rotowire
Milwaukee called up McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
McGee last pitched in the majors in 2023 with Seattle, when he shined with a 6.2-inning, one-hit scoreless start. However, he suffered an elbow injury in that contest and subsequently underwent Tommy John surgery. The right-hander has pitched well in Triple-A this season, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 18.1 innings across 13 relief outings. He'll presumably fill a spot in the Brewers' bullpen while up with the big club. To make room for Easton on the 40-man roster, Connor Thomas (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL, and Tobias Myers was optioned to Triple-A to clear space on the 26-man roster.

Brewers' Easton McGee: Returns from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
McGee (elbow) has given up eight runs (seven earned) on 15 hits and no walks while striking out five over 8.2 innings across three appearances for Triple-A Nashville since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list July 21.
Before beginning a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in late June, McGee had been sidelined all season while he completed his recovery from his May 2023 Tommy John surgery. Though he's been knocked around a bit since finishing his rehab assignment and joining Nashville, McGee has been a victim of some bad luck, as he has yet to allow a home run or issue a walk in his 8.2 innings.

Mariners' Easton McGee: Sidelined with forearm strain
Rotowire
The Mariners placed McGee on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right forearm strain.
McGee's move to the IL comes after he was brilliant in a spot start for Seattle in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Toronto, as he twirled 6.2 innings of shutout baseball. The rookie right-hander's arm was apparently hurting after the effort, however, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two weeks while while recovering from the strain. Outfielder Taylor Trammell (wrist) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding transaction.
