Brewers recall Bennett Sousa and option Jake Cousins prior to Giants series

Prior to today’s game against the Giants, the Brewers made a roster move to add another left-handed pitcher to their bullpen. They recalled Bennett Sousa from Triple-A Nashville and optioned Jake Cousins to Nashville. Sousa was acquired from the Reds early in the season and was pitching for the Sounds. He debuted with the White Sox last season and posted an 8.41 ERA and 5.47 FIP in 20.1 major league innings. So far this season in Nashville, he’s allowed three runs in five innings and has nine strikeouts compared to three walks.

Jake Cousins was sent back down to Nashville as the other side of the move.
