Pena accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pena had the option of refusing to be sent to the minors and go to free agency instead, but he opted to stay with the Brewers organization. He'll develop more in the minor leagues for the time being, although his major league experience does make him a candidate to get called back up if anything bad happens to the bullpen at the major league level.

Pena was outrighted to Triple-A on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pena, who was DFA'd earlier in the week, will have three days to either accept the assignment or elect free agency. At this point, it's unclear which way he'll lean.

Pena was designated for assignment on Tuesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Todd Rosiak reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers traded for Sam Freeman from the Rangers on Tuesday, so they needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Pena is a borderline big league caliber reliever, and should head to Triple-A.

Pena has earned one of the final Opening Day roster spots for the Brewers, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pena had a shaky spring in which he allowed nine earned runs over 10 innings, but showed enough promise to earn one of the final bullpen spots in Milwaukee. Look for the right to serve primarily in middle relief.

Pena will compete for a spot in the Brewers' bullpen this spring, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pena started five of the six games he appeared in for the Brewers last season, but he is out of options and is on the outside looking in at the starting rotation this spring, so the club will let him pitch as a reliever in an effort to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster. Given Pena's starting experience, he figures to work as a long reliever if he makes the cut.

Pena (2-1) was touched up for three earned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Friday's loss to the Cubs. He struck out six batters during the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Pena has failed to pitch into the sixth inning in any of his first five big-league starts, but has shown some promise, averaging 9.25 K/9. His next test will be to further limit his walks, having allowed three in 9.1 inning in his past two outings after surrendering 10 in 15 inning in his first three starts of the season.

Pena allowed three runs on six hits and a walk across five innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Friday. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Pena has now gone five innings exactly in four straight starts and has not allowed more than three runs in any one of them. What's really impressive is that he has only allowed 19 hits in 23 innings while striking out 21. This may be a guy to keep an eye on in the future, but he simply doesn't go deep enough into games for consideration this year.

Pena took a no decision in a solid start Tuesday against the Cardinals, as he allowed one run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Pena ran out of gas in the sixth, as he allowed a pair of runners to reach and then the bullpen let in the only run charged to Pena all night. It was Pena's best major league appearance yet, as he got 14 swinging strikes from Cardinals hitters in 92 pitches and drew six ground balls. His ERA dropped to 3.46.

Pena is currently scheduled to make another start for the Brewers on Tuesday against the Cardinals, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pena's first start Wednesday went relatively well, allowing, as he allowed just two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four. While he's currently penciled in, it appears that's not set it stone yet. Assuming nothing happens between now and then, he'll look for a repeat performance Tuesday.

Pena went five innings in his first career start Wednesday in Miami, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Pena's modest Triple-A stats don't give him a lot of promise, but he may remain in the rotation for another start or three down the stretch. That's probably better news for opposing offenses than for Pena's few fantasy owners.
