MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers acquired left-handed pitcher Bennett Sousa from the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday and sent him to the Triple-A affiliate in Nashville, Tennessee.
Cincinnati received cash and international bonus money in exchange for Sousa. The Reds had designated him for assignment last week.
Sousa, 28, went 3-0 with an 8.41 ERA in 25 relief appearances for the Chicago White Sox last season. He struck out 12 and walked 10 in 20⅓ innings.
In another move, the Brewers transferred left-handed pitcher Aaron Ashby to the 60-day injured list. The Brewers announced Wednesday that Ashby was undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery and would miss most of the season.
