Player Outlook
Colin Rea hadn't seen significant action in the majors since making 19 starts in 2016, but he caught on with the Brewers last year and was a serviceable swingman with a 4.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB over 124.2 innings. He started in 22 of his 26 appearances and had decent strikeout and walk rates (21.3 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively) but was hurt by the long ball (1.7 HR/9). Milwaukee opted to re-sign him early in the offseason, and he's likely to be a factor in the starting rotation again in 2024. Rea might not be a reliable fantasy starter but should be a solid streaming option, assuming he's able to replicate his performance, which a 4.39 xERA and 4.30 xFIP indicate is realistic.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Roughed up Friday

    Rea gave up five earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters across six innings during Milwaukee's win over the Yankees on Friday. He did not factor into the decision. All five of the Yankees' runs against Rea came via the long ball, as Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo both hit solo shots in the first two innings, and Trent Grisham blasted a three-run homer in the fourth. Rea still boasts a 3.25 ERA through 27.2 innings despite his poor showing Friday, though his fantasy value could take a significant hit if he's unable to bounce back in his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Wednesday against the Rays.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Fires five shutout frames

    Rea didn't factor in the decision Sunday in St. Louis after he allowed five hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out three. Rea tallied just three whiffs and threw 49 of 89 pitches for strikes, but he kept the Cardinals off the board for his first scoreless start of the campaign. The 33-year-old has taken no-decision in each of his past two starts, but he's been a pivotal rotation piece early this season for Milwaukee with a 2.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 21.2 innings to go along with a 2-0 record.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Win streak halted

    Rea didn't factor into Sunday's decision, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk across 5.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out six. After picking up victories in his first two starts this season, Rea wasn't able to add to his season total Sunday. Rea struggled to keep the ball inside Oriole Park, allowing solo home runs to Cedric Mullins in the second inning and to Ryan O'Hearn in the third inning for his first two homers given up this season. Through 16.2 innings, Rea owns a 2.70 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP and is set up to face the Cardinals on Saturday.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Handles Mariners for second win

    Rea (2-0) got the win over the Mariners on Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits over six innings. He struck out three. Rea was uncertain to even make his start Sunday after he was reported to have been battling a stomach virus the day prior but turned in another successful outing. He gave up runs in back-to-back frames to open up the game but was unbothered after the Brewers staked him a 6-2 lead by the third. Rea's stuff hasn't been flashy by any means, but he's been an important piece to this rotation that does not have much depth. Things won't get any easier for the 33-year-old who is projected to face the Orioles in Baltimore during the upcoming week.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Notches win in season debut

    Rea (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Mets after he allowed one run on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two. The right-hander wasn't particularly dominant as he generated just eight swinging strikes on 84 pitches, but he limited the damage by holding New York to just one extra-base hit. Rea was effective as a swingman last season with a 4.55 ERA, 1.19 and 110:38 K:BB across 124.2 innings, and he's opened 2024 with a more secure spot in the rotation. A matchup with the Mariners awaits next weekend.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Wins rotation spot

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy confirmed Tuesday that Rea will begin the season as part of the Brewers' starting rotation, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Rea accumulated a 4.55 ERA and 1.19 WHIP alongside a 110:38 K:BB across 124.2 innings last season, but the 33-year-old righty has looked much sharper this spring. Murphy's announcement comes immediately after Rea pitched four shutout innings against the Cubs while striking out seven batters and surrendering just one walk. With Rea officially claiming a rotation spot, DL Hall, Aaron Ashby, Jakob Junis and Joe Ross will compete with each other for the last two starting jobs in Milwaukee.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Re-signs with Milwaukee

    The Brewers re-signed Rea to a one-year contract Thursday with a club option for 2025, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Rea hadn't enjoyed much major-league success prior to the 2023 season, but he proved to be a valuable -- and flexible -- member of the Milwaukee pitching staff while registering a 4.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB in 22 starts and four relief appearances covering 124.2 innings. The 33-year-old right-hander should be a strong consideration for the Opening Day rotation in 2024.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Gets spot on wild-card roster

    Rea has made the Brewers' roster for their NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks. The 33-year-old is essentially replacing Brandon Woodruff, who is in danger of missing the entire postseason because of a capsular injury in his right shoulder. Rea was terrific in a swingman role down the stretch for Milwaukee, delivering a 2.22 ERA and 25:6 K:BB over his final three starts and three relief appearances covering 24.1 innings.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Turns in scoreless outing

    Rea allowed two hits over five scoreless frames during Friday's win over the Cubs. He struck out six without walking a batter and did not factor in the decision. Rea rolled through his shutout performance Friday, tossing 50 of 67 pitches for strikes. He allowed just one runner to reach scoring position and never faced much of a threat. It was his longest appearance since July 30. Rea posted a 2.22 ERA over his final 24.1 frames, dropping his season ERA to 4.55 alongside a 110:38 K:BB across 124.2 total innings.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Getting start Friday

    Rea is scheduled to start Friday against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Rea gets the ball in place of Brandon Woodruff, who won't make another start for the NL Central champions until the wild-card round of the playoffs. The 33-year-old right-hander holds a 4.74 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 104:38 K:BB in 119.2 innings (21 starts, four relief appearances) this season with the Brewers.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Recalled from Nashville

    The Brewers recalled Rea from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. The 33-year-old right-hander returns to Milwaukee's roster as a long reliever with Trevor Megill going on paternity leave. Rea has compiled a 4.78 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 102:38 K:BB in 118.2 innings (21 starts, three relief appearances) this season at the major-league level.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Sent to Triple-A

    Rea was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. The 33-year-old earned the win Tuesday after he allowed one run over 4.2 frames of long relief, but he'll be sent down in order for the team to bring up a fresh arm. Rea has a 4.78 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 102:38 K:BB across 118.2 innings as a swingman for the Brewers this season.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Nabs sixth win Tuesday

    Rea (6-6) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Cardinals, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 4.2 relief innings. He struck out two. Working as the bulk reliever behind opener Trevor Megill, Rea entered the game in the second inning with the Brewers down 2-0 and got rewarded for his efforts once the Milwaukee offense got rolling. He tossed 85 pitches (52 strikes) to collect his first big-league win since July 2, but the veteran right seems to be adjusting well to his new role -- over four appearances (two starts, two in relief) in September, none longer than 4.2 innings, he's posted a 2.95 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 18.1 innings.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Optioned to Nashville

    Milwaukee optioned Rea to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. The 33-year-old right-hander will lose his rotation spot to Adrian Houser (elbow), who was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Marlins. Rea took a loss as the bulk pitcher Wednesday versus Miami and holds a 4.89 ERA in 114 major-league innings this season.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Gets no help in loss

    Rea (5-6) took the loss Wednesday versus the Marlins. He allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.2 innings. Rea pitched as a reliever for just the second time this season. He threw 65 pitches (42 strikes), but the Brewers' offense wasn't able to put any runs on the board. The right-hander has given up five runs over 13.2 innings across three appearances since he was promoted from Triple-A Nashville in early September. For the season, he's posted a 4.89 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 100:35 K:BB over 114 innings through 23 appearances (21 starts). With Adrian Houser (elbow) coming back from the injured list Thursday, it's unclear if Rea will remain in the rotation going forward -- that may be dependent on Corbin Burnes' (ankle) ability to make his next start.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Set for bulk role Wednesday

    Rea is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Trevor Megill in Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Rea will work out of the bullpen for just the second time all season after making 21 of his prior 22 appearances with the Brewers as a starter. Since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on Sept. 2, Rea has struck out 12 over nine innings in two starts while pitching to an 0.89 WHIP, but he's given up four earned runs between those outings and hasn't come away with a win. He'll have a better chance at factoring into the decision Wednesday since he won't be starting and thus won't be required to cover five innings to qualify for a win.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Strikes out six in no-decision

    Rea did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out six. A Jasson Dominguez two-run shot in the third was the only damage the right-hander allowed. It took him 85 pitches to record 14 outs, but following two consecutive outs to start the fifth, Rea was pulled in favor of Abner Uribe, who struck out Aaron Judge to complete the inning. With Adrian Houser (elbow) scheduled to return from a stint on the injured list Sept. 12, Rea's future role on the Brewers' pitching staff is up in the air.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Officially promoted

    The Brewers recalled Rea from Triple-A Nashville to start Saturday's game against the Phillies. With Adrian Houser (elbow) on the injured list, Rea will come up from Nashville to round out the Brewers' rotation. The 33-year-old righty surrendered six runs over four innings during his last start in the majors, and he likely won't offer much fantasy value while in Milwaukee. J.B. Bukauskas was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Set to start Saturday

    Rea will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Saturday's game against the Phillies, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The Brewers optioned Rea to Nashville on Aug. 5, where he has since given up five runs over 11 innings across two starts while striking out 12 batters and walking one. Rea has a 7.30 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 24.2 innings in his last five major-league starts prior to being demoted and will be facing a Phillies offense that ranks sixth in baseball with a .768 OPS on the season.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Brewers optioned Rea to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. Lefty Clayton Andrews was recalled to replace Rea, who was knocked around for six runs over four innings Friday, bringing his ERA since the All-Star break to 6.75. Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is due back Sunday, so Rea's services are no longer needed in the rotation, though he could be back before long as a swingman.
