The Milwaukee Brewers could bolster their pitching depth for the postseason by signing a recently designated pitcher from a division rival.

The Brewers have been in great form since the All-Star break despite the loss of former MVP Christian Yelich and have a good chance of playing in the World Series. Although the Brew Crew has a well-stocked roster, the club now has a chance to add another player for the postseason.

“Chicago Cubs news: Reliever Héctor Neris has been DFA’d and has already cleared waivers,” ESPN’s Jesse Rogers reported Tuesday morning. “He will be released. Jack Neely, acquired from the (New York) Yankees in exchange for Mark Leiter Jr., will be called up to take his place.”

Neris has a 3.89 ERA with a 46-to-26 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a .247 batting average against, and a 1.52 WHIP in 44 innings in 46 games this season.

Entering Tuesday, Milwaukee has the second-best bullpen with a combined ERA of 3.24. The Brewers are unlikely to take a chance on Neris given their talented pool of relievers. However, if a division rival lets a potentially impactful player go, the club should at least consider bringing him in.

The Brew Crew also expects right-hander Trevor Megill to return any day from his rehab stint with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, and left-hander DL Hall was activated last week.

Although Milwaukee could add Neris for additional depth in the postseason, the move is unlikely. Neris had a 1.71 ERA last season and would have been a decent trade piece at the recent deadline, but was instead kept for just a few more weeks. His value is difficult to determine at the moment.
