The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-handed relief pitcher Grant Anderson from the Texas Rangers on Thursday in exchange for minor league left-hander Mason Molina.
The Rangers had designated Anderson, 27, for assignment on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for free agent signee Joc Pederson.
In 2024, Anderson pitched 26 2/3 innings over 23 relief appearances with Texas, posting an 0-1 record with one save, an 8.10 ERA, 29 strikeouts and 10 walks. Anderson also went 3-0 with one save and a 2.93 ERA over 26 games at Triple-A Round Rock while notching 34 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings.
Anderson was 2-1 with 5.05 ERA in 26 relief appearances for Texas in 2023.
Molina, 21, was selected by Milwaukee in the seventh round of the 2024 draft. The University of Arkansas alum has made two starts at Class-A Carolina, striking out six batters over five shutout innings.
The Brewers cleared a spot on their 40-man roster for Anderson by designating left-handed reliever Tyler Jay for assignment. Jay, 30, appeared in a total of five major league games for the New York Mets and Milwaukee in 2024, recording no record while allowing five runs (four earned) in 7 2/3 innings.
