Relief pitcher Cody Heuer is now playing in his fourth year of Major League Baseball.
Throughout his 2026 campaign, which has been spent with Cleveland, he’s riding a 4.66 ERA and six strikeouts across 9.2 innings pitched through eight games.
He has walked five batters along the way.
He’s also spent 26 games down in Triple-A this season, logging a 3.46 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 26.0 innings of work.
Heuer, now 30 years old, was selected by the Chicago White Sox 168th overall in the sixth round of the 2018 MLB draft. He made his debut with the ballclub in July 2020.
After spending two years with the White Sox, Heuer found his way to the Texas Rangers, followed by the Detroit Tigers and the Guardians.
He owns a career 3.76 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP.
Heuer has found his way around the block throughout his professional baseball career, and Milwaukee will mark yet another home for the right-hander.

As for 26-year-old Yoho, this is only his second year with the Brewers. He has posted a 3.15 ERA and 18 strikeouts across 20.0 innings pitched through 15 games.
Both players will now be in Cleveland, but this is only the start of a flurry of moves across the Major Leagues with the looming MLB trade deadline on Aug. 3.

In the big leagues overall, the Brewers land in second, just behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (69-41).
The Naylor and Heuer trade was made official by the ballclub, but as mentioned, this is only the beginning of a chaotic stretch of days as the trade deadline nears.
In the meantime, rumors will continue to stir while organizations weigh their options in hopes of bolstering their rosters to make a potential run in the postseason.
