The Tigers claimed Sousa off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sousa will join his fourth different organization of the season. The 28-year-old has put up big strikeout totals during his time in the minors but has struggled during his big-league opportunities, posting a 9.00 ERA and 14:12 K:BB over 23 relief innings the last two seasons. Sousa will report to Triple-A Toledo.

Sousa (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sousa had been on the IL since June 9 with left shoulder nerve irritation, but he's healthy again after he recently completed a four-appearance rehab assignment between Nashville and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The southpaw reliever has only made two appearances in the majors this season and coughed up two earned runs in both of those outings. He'll likely need to enjoy an extended run of success in Nashville before he gets another look with the Brewers.

Sousa (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Justin Wilson's return. Sousa is beginning a rehab assignment with the Brewers' Arizona Coast League affiliate Friday, so he should have a shot to be activated when first eligible in early August. He's been out since early June with left shoulder nerve irritation.

The Brewers placed Sousa on the 15-day injured list Friday with left shoulder nerve irritation.
EDGE Analysis
Sousa made just his second appearance of the season Wednesday against Baltimore in the ninth inning and surrendered two runs on three hits and a walk. He will now be shelved for at least another two weeks, becoming the 10th Brewers pitcher currently on the IL. Tyson Miller was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

The Brewers recalled Sousa from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Milwaukee sent right-hander Jake Cousins to Nashville to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Sousa, who rejoins the big club for the first time since early May. Since being demoted to Nashville, Sousa has pitched to a 3.12 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 8.2 innings across eight appearances.

The Brewers optioned Sousa to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sousa's demotion came one day after he was tagged for two earned runs on two hits and one walk over 1.2 innings out of the bullpen in his Brewers debut in Monday's 9-3 win over the Dodgers. Though he'll now head back to Triple-A, Sousa should be near the top of the list for a promotion the next time the Brewers are in need of another lefty arm in the bullpen.

Sousa was recalled Friday from Triple-A Nashville.
EDGE Analysis

The Brewers acquired Sousa from the Reds in exchange for cash considerations Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sousa was designated for assignment by the Reds last week and will remain in the NL Central with the trade. He'll provide depth as an up-and-down option for the Brewers while on the 40-man roster.

Sousa was designated for assignment by the Reds on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sousa was the 40-man roster casualty when the Reds selected the contract of fellow relief pitcher Kevin Herget. The left-hander appeared in 25 games with White Sox in 2022, struggling to a 8.41 ERA and 1.72 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 20.1 innings.
