DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Headed to Texas The Rangers signed Milner to a one-year deal Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Milner will head to Texas after spending the last four seasons with the Brewers, most recently producing a 4.73 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 64 strikeouts over 64.2 innings in 61 appearances with Milwaukee in 2024. The left-hander is just one season removed from a 2023 campaign in which he had an impressive 1.82 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 59 punchouts over 64.1 innings in 73 appearances with the Brewers and he'll look to get back closer to that form in 2025 with the Rangers.

Dropped by Brewers The Brewers non-tendered Milner on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact After a dominant 2023 campaign that saw Milner put up a 1.82 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, Milner's performance declined drastically, as he finished the 2024 regular season with a 4.73 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 64.2 innings. The 33-year-old should still be able to attract attention from teams in need of bullpen depth, though his days of working in high-leverage situations are likely behind him.

Another scoreless appearance Milner tossed a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Twins.

Impact Milner got the eighth inning Tuesday with the Brewers up four runs, and he avoided allowing an earned run for the 49th time in 58 appearances this season. Milner is not working in a fantasy-friendly role, but he has been outstanding out of Milwaukee's bullpen, posting a 2.26 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB over 51.2 innings in 2023.

Stellar stretch continues Milner tossed a scoreless seventh inning in Monday's 3-2 victory over the Reds.

Impact Milner did not earn a hold Monday, as the game was tied when he entered it. However, he did keep the opponent off the scoreboard, something he has now done 24 times over a 25-appearance stretch. There are relievers ahead of Milner on the depth chart, but expect manager Craig Counsell to keep turning to him in key spots.

Impact Milner entered Tuesday's contest in the seventh inning and maintained what was a 5-3 lead at the time, which earned him his fifth hold of the season. Milner owned a 4.50 ERA as recently as May 23, but thanks to 6.2 scoreless frames over his last seven appearances that mark now sits at 3.28.

Bounces back in win Milner tossed a scoreless seventh inning in Monday's 7-3 victory over the Mariners.

Impact Milner gave up three earned runs in his previous outing, but he got back on track Monday, retiring all three batters he faced. He has only been scored upon in one of his eight appearances, and he currently owns a 3.86 ERA and 0.71 WHIP -- marks very similar to those he put up over 67 games in 2022.

Honing in this month Milner has allowed five hits over 5.1 scoreless innings and has posted a 3:0 K:BB through six spring appearances in March.

Impact Milner was tagged for three earned runs in his Feb. 27 spring debut, but he has not allowed one since and has allowed only a handful of hitters to even reach base. He will not open the season in a particularly fantasy-friendly role, but he is on track to be the top southpaw in Milwaukee's bullpen.
