2023 Fantasy Outlook
Selected by the Brewers in the first round of the 2018 Draft, Small is coming off his first full season at the Triple-A level. The results were mixed, but he did do enough to make his first two appearances in the major leagues. Small mainly relies on a deceptive delivery and a fastball/changeup mix, and although he is hardly a hard thrower, he averaged over a strikeout per inning a season ago. He also posted a 5.1 BB/9 and issued eight free passes in his 6.1 big-league frames. Small has worked almost exclusively as a starter, but he presumably needs to develop a third pitch and cut down on the free passes before doing so with any regularity for a Brewers team stocked with starting pitchers. He will be entering his age-26 season, which makes this a pivotal campaign for his future. Read Past Outlooks

Optioned to minors
Small was optioned Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Small covered three innings behind starter Freddy Peralta on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits. The lefty's ERA now sits at 15.00, and he was going to be unavailable for a few days after Friday's outing, so it only makes sense that the Brewers would swap him out for a fresh arm. Jake Cousins was recalled in a corresponding move.
