The Brewers have a new agreement with right-hander Jacob Waguespack on a minor league deal, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He has been assigned to their Arizona complex.

Waguespack was pitching at Triple-A Nashville when Milwaukee granted him his release on May 4. It seems he wanted to gauge whether any team was willing to offer an MLB opportunity. Once that didn’t materialize, he returned to the Brew Crew on a fresh minor league contract. He’ll presumably head back to Nashville after a brief tune-up in the Complex League.

The 32-year-old righty last pitched in the Majors in 2024. Waguespack split last season between the Triple-A affiliates of the Rays and Phillies. He managed a solid 2.45 earned run average over 33 combined frames but never got an MLB look with either team. The Ole Miss product signed an offseason non-roster deal with Milwaukee and opened the year in Triple-A.

Waguespack allowed eight runs (four earned) through 16 innings. He struck out 23 of 68 opponents (34%) but also issued 11 walks. Waguespack doesn’t have huge velocity despite the big swing-and-miss rates. He’s averaging 92 mph on his fastball while working in the mid-80s with his cutter and changeup.
