Brewers' Connor Sadzeck: Returns to majors with Milwaukee
The Brewers selected Sadzeck's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Sadzeck is back in the majors for the first time since 2019, when he made 20 relief appearances for Seattle. Prior to Wednesday's call-up, the 30-year-old right-hander had spent the entire 2022 campaign with Nashville. Over 28 innings with the affiliate, Sadzeck turned in an 0.96 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB. He'll likely see most of his initial opportunities with Milwaukee in lower-leverage spots.

Brewers' Connor Sadzeck: Gets invite to Brewers camp
Sadzeck, who signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Dec. 1, has received an invitation to MLB spring training.
The 30-year-old right-hander last appeared in the majors in 2019 with the Mariners, making 20 relief appearances while posting a 2.66 ERA and 27:15 K:BB across 23.2 innings. He's struggled to bounce back from a serious elbow injury suffered that same season, however, as he missed the entire 2020 campaign and turned in middling numbers (4.84 ERA, 1.50 WHIP in 44.2 innings) at the Triple-A level in 2021.

White Sox's Connor Sadzeck: Demoted to minors
Sadzeck was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Sadzeck was vying for a bullpen role in spring training, though he wasn't expected to open the season in the big leagues. He last pitched in the majors in 2019 as a member of the Mariners, logging a 2.66 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 27:15 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

White Sox's Connor Sadzeck: Joining White Sox for camp
Sadzeck signed with the White Sox as a non-roster invitee Thursday.
The 29-year-old righty owns a strong 2.18 ERA in 33 career innings at the highest level, though that's not backed up by his poor combination of a 22.4 percent strikeout rate and 17.1 percent walk rate. He missed most of 2019 with elbow troubles and didn't make the Mariners' 40-man roster at any point last season, so his chances of cracking the White Sox's Opening Day roster appear to be slim.

Mariners' Connor Sadzeck: Sent to Triple-A
Sadzeck (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Sadzeck ended the season on the 60-day injured list after undergoing a non-surgical elbow procedure at the beginning of August. The Mariners also outrighted Chasen Bradford and Ryon Healy to make room on the 40-man roster.

Mariners' Connor Sadzeck: Gets procedure for elbow
Sadzeck (elbow) underwent a non-surgical procedure in Texas earlier this week, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Divish's report labels Sadzeck's injury as a right elbow strain, which differs from the initial diagnosis of inflammation that was provided when the righty reliever first landed on the injured list June 4. Since he has yet to even graduate to mound work over the subsequent two months and is now on the mend from a minor procedure, Sadzeck seems unlikely to make it back from the 60-day IL until September, if at all.

Sadzeck flew to Dallas to have his elbow examined after experiencing a setback, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Sadzeck has been on the injured list since June 4 due to right elbow inflammation, and he's yet to resume throwing off a mound. It's unclear what this latest setback means for the right-hander's timetable, though he certainly doesn't appear close to being reinstated.

Sadzeck (elbow) continues to play catch but has yet to throw off a mound, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Sadzeck is at the team's spring training facility in Peoria, Arizona during his recovery. The right-hander had already upped his throwing distance to 120 feet a week ago, so he would appear to be on the verge of taking the next step in his rehabilitation.

Sadzeck (elbow) is up to throwing from 120 feet at the team's spring training facility in Arizona, Sarah Wexler of MLB.com reports.
It's been a long road back for Sadzeck, who's been sidelined since June 4. If the reliever's throwing program continues without issue, he'll likely work a bullpen session in Arizona toward the end of the coming week.
