Top Jake Cousins News

  • White Sox's Jake Cousins: Inks MiLB deal with White Sox

    Cousins signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Cousins has battled injuries and ineffectiveness over the last couple of seasons, but the 29-year-old reliever carries a 3.08 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 52.2 career major-league innings. He's a worthwhile reclamation project for Chicago.

  • Astros' Jake Cousins: Designated for assignment

    Cousins was designated for assignment by the Astros on Tuesday.

    Houston claimed Cousins off waivers from the Brewers in late July, but he's now been cut loose from the 40-man roster after allowing eight earned runs in eight innings of relief with Triple-A Sugar Land. Michael Brantley (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Astros' Jake Cousins: Optioned after acquisition

    The Astros activated Cousins (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land after acquiring him off waivers from the Brewers on Monday.

    Cousins struggled over his 12 appearances with Milwaukee prior to landing on the shelf in early June with a right shoulder injury and wasn't especially sharp during his five rehab appearances in the minors, so he'll attempt to work out the kinks in Sugar Land before getting a look in the Houston bullpen. The 29-year-old right-hander has shown the ability to make bats miss at the big-league level, but any success he might have moving forward will hinge on keeping his walk rate in check.

  • Astros' Jake Cousins: Scooped up by Houston

    The Astros claimed Cousins (shoulder) off waivers from the Brewers on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Cousins owns a 3.08 ERA and a 31.4 percent strikeout rate over 52.2 innings in parts of three seasons in the big leagues, but he's struggled with reining in free passes throughout his career (16.2 BB%) and hasn't been able to stay healthy in either of the past two seasons. He last pitched for Milwaukee on June 3 before landing on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, but he's already made five rehab appearances in the minors and should be on the cusp of a return. The 29-year-old has two minor-league options remaining, so Houston could elect to send him to Triple-A Sugar Land once he's reinstated from the IL rather than getting an immediate look at him with the big club.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Rehab moved to Triple-A

    Cousins (shoulder) began a rehab assignment in Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Cousins had been rehabbing at the Brewers' complex in Arizona over the All-Star break. He appeared in one game and allowed one unearned run while walking two batters and striking out three. He'll now face higher-level competition and should return to the Brewers' bullpen before the end of the month.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Rehabbing in rookie ball

    Cousins (shoulder) began a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Cousins landed on the injured list in early June with right shoulder inflammation and is now entering the final stages of his rehab process. He was optioned to Triple-A Nashville before his trip to the IL caused the option to be rescinded, so it's likely Cousins is sent back to Nashville once he's activated from the injured list. The 28-year-old righty holds a 4.82 ERA and 2.14 WHIP through 9.1 frames with Milwaukee this season.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Moved to 15-day IL

    Milwaukee placed Cousins on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to June 4, with right shoulder inflammation.

    Cousins was sent out to Triple-A Nashville this past Sunday, but the injury happened before that move and so the option has been rescinded. There's no timetable yet for when he might be able to return to live competition.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Heads to Triple-A

    The Brewers optioned Cousins to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

    Cousins will cede his spot in the Milwaukee bullpen to lefty Bennett Sousa, who was recalled from Nashville in a corresponding move. The right-hander was sent back to the minors after he failed to record an out while allowing two earned runs on two hits and a walk in his relief appearance in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Reds.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Returns to majors

    Cousins was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    The Brewers' bullpen was needed for 6.2 innings behind Freddy Peralta in Friday's 15-1 loss to the Giants. Cousins will return for his third stint with the big-league team this season, providing a fresh arm heading into the final two games against San Francisco. Cousins has made seven appearances for Milwaukee so far this season, pitching to a 3.24 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB over 8.1 innings.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Optioned to Nashville

    The Brewers optioned Cousins to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

    As the signing of Julio Teheran became official Thursday, Cousins will serve as the Brewers' roster casualty. The 28-year-old reliever has done a good job at limiting runs but struggles to keep runners off base -- especially via walks. He will likely continue to bounce back and forth between Milwaukee and Nashville as the Brewers' pitching depth is tested throughout the season.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Summoned from Triple-A

    Milwaukee recalled Cousins from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Cousins will assume the 26-man active roster spot of Wade Miley (lat), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Over three appearances out of the Milwaukee bullpen this season, Cousins has worked 4.2 innings while allowing an earned run on three hits and four walks while striking out four.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Joins big-league bullpen

    Milwaukee recalled Cousins from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Cousins will provide a fresh arm after the Brewers' bullpen was roughed up Sunday. The 28-year-old has major control issues but also boasts a 2.70 ERA with 65 strikeouts over 43.1 innings in the majors the last two seasons.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Optioned to Triple-A

    Cousins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Cousins had surrendered seven earned runs on nine hits and four walks through six innings of work this spring in the Cactus League. He should get another look in the Milwaukee bullpen at some point in the early part of the 2023 season.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Recalled from Triple-A

    Cousins was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Cousins last stint in the majors came in late September and lasted just three games. In that time, he allowed one hit, zero runs and struck out five batters over 3.1 innings. With Justin Topa (ankle) heading to the 15-day injured list, Cousins will remain with the Brewers for their final series of the regular season.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Sent down Friday

    Cousins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Cousins was called up by the Brewers on Monday and struck out five in 3.1 scoreless innings over three appearances following his promotion. However, he'll head back to the minors after Eric Lauer (elbow) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to Friday's start against Cincinnati.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Back in MLB

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

    Cousins posted a 2.84 ERA and 17:6 K:BB in 11 appearances for Triple-A Nashville after being sent down Aug. 24. Having also pitched to a 4.50 ERA in eight big-league games this season, the righty should see some action out of the bullpen and, maybe in a pinch, some high-leverage work.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Reinstated, sent down Wednesday

    Cousins (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Cousins was sidelined since the end of April, but he began a rehab assignment in late July and recorded a 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 10 innings over 10 minor-league appearances. The 28-year-old will remain in the minors now that he's back to full health.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Ready for rehab assignment

    Cousins (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    An elbow injury has kept Cousins out of action since the final day in April, but he has seemingly reached the final stage of his recovery. He will pitch Tuesday in the Arizona Complex League, and if all goes well will then advance to Triple-A Nashville.

  • Brewers' Jake Cousins: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Cousins (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Cousins has been on the shelf nearly a month since being diagnosed with a UCL injury in his right elbow, and the shift to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. The 27-year-old has opted against Tommy John surgery and received a PRP injection a couple weeks ago, and he's in Arizona going through his rest and rehab work before progressing to a throwing program.
