Top Colin Rea News

  • 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: Slated for bulk relief Tuesday

    Rea is expected to work in bulk relief behind Trevor Megill in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Rea was called up from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Monday's series opener in St. Louis, but he wasn't needed out of the bullpen in the Brewers' 1-0 loss. With Milwaukee seemingly looking to build in an extra rest day for all five members of their rotation, Megill is expected to serve as the lead pitcher Tuesday for what projects to be a bullpen day. Since Rea last pitched Sept. 13, he'll be well-rested and should be able to handle multiple innings out of the bullpen once Megill exits the contest.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Gets call back to majors

    The Brewers recalled Rea from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Rea was optioned to Triple-A just four days earlier, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Brewers ahead of Monday's game in St. Louis since right-hander Thyago Vieira (calf) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though he had made two of his last three appearances as a starter for Milwaukee before being sent down, Rea will serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen in his upcoming stint with the Brewers with Adrian Houser having recently returned from the IL and reclaimed his spot in the rotation.

  • 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.
