Rea (5-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 6.2 innings against the Pirates. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Rea was sharp Sunday, holding Pittsburgh to a pair of runs on Nick Gonzales' two-run homer in the second inning. The 33-year-old Rea has won back-to-back starts, allowing just two runs on eight hits over 13 innings in that span. His ERA is down to 4.40 with a 1.19 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 14 starts (75.2 innings). Rea is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

Rea (4-4) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 6.1 innings in a 2-1 win over the Mets. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Rea notched his second quality start of the season en route to his fourth win. It's been a mixed bag for the right-hander this year, as he's allowed three or fewer runs eight times but given up four earned runs in his other six outings. Overall, he sports a 4.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 57:24 K:BB across 14 appearances (69 innings), and his numbers have basically been the same in April, May and June. Given the litany of injuries to Milwaukee's pitching staff, Rea's spot in the rotation is secure moving forward.

Rea didn't factor in the decision in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks after he gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander put the Brewers in an early hole by allowing a three-run homer to Ketel Marte during the second inning, but he followed that with three scoreless frames before Arizona tallied another run in the sixth. Rea has worked at least five frames in each of his past six starts and has a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB during that span. If he remains in Milwaukee's rotation, Rea likely lines up for a matchup with the Mets early next week.

Rea is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks at American Family Field.
EDGE Analysis
Rea looked like a candidate to move out of the rotation during the upcoming week after both Eric Lauer and Wade Miley were reinstated from the injured list, but Lauer ended up getting optioned to Triple-A Nashville, while Adrian Houser was sent to the bullpen to clear up a starting spot for Miley. As a result, Rea appears set to stick around as Milwaukee's No. 5 starter, though he probably doesn't have a long leash. He's pitched to a 4.71 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 57.1 innings in the big leagues this season, and most of his underlying ratios (4.43 SIERA, 12.4 K-BB%, 27.5 CSW%) point to him being an average-to-below-average performer.

Rea (3-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against the Twins. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Rea unraveled in the third inning, giving up a one-out double to Edouard Julien before walking Donovan Solano on four straight pitches. They would both come around to score on a Carlos Correa triple, leading to a four-run inning for Minnesota. The right-hander walked three batters for the second time in three starts this month after issuing only seven free passes throughout all of May (five starts). He had also won each of his last three decisions coming in after starting the season 0-3.

Rea did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings in a 6-3 loss to the Orioles. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Rea seemed well on his way to a fourth straight win, but Milwaukee's bullpen couldn't hold a 3-0 lead, leaving the 32-year-old right-hander with a no-decision despite a dominant performance. Rea's been inconsistent overall since slotting into the Brewers' rotation. He allowed seven earned runs over 11 innings in his last two starts, despite picking up wins in both outings. His ERA is now down to 4.47 with a 1.22 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB through 10 starts (52.1 innings) this season.

Rea (3-3) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks across five innings during a 10-8 victory over the Reds. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Rea has picked up a win in each of his last three starts, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB across 16.1 innings during that stretch. Given the litany of injuries to Milwaukee's rotation, the 32-year-old's role figures to be relatively stable moving forward, especially if he continues to submit quality performances. Rea will look to make it four straight wins during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for the finale of a three-game set versus Baltimore.

Rea (2-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits over six innings during a 7-5 victory over San Francisco. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Rea wasn't as sharp as his previous start, but he still tied his season high with six innings and recorded six strikeouts, his most since April 30. The 32-year-old sports modest numbers (4.75 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 35:13 K:BB) across eight starts (41.2 innings), but given the litany of injuries to Milwaukee's rotation, Rea figures to have a relatively stable role moving forward. His next start is tentatively scheduled during a four-game set in Cincinnati.

Rea is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Giants in Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Given the Brewers' ever-growing list of injuries in the rotation along with the fact that Rea blanked the Astros over 5.1 innings in his return to a starting role earlier this week, it comes as little surprise that he'll receive a second straight turn. With none of the Brewers' injured starting pitchers seemingly close to a return, Rea's spot in the rotation should be safe for a bit, but he's still tough to depend on outside of NL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues. Through 36.1 innings with the big club in 2023, Rea has gone 1-3 and owns a 4.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB.

Rea (1-3) blanked the Astros over 5.1 innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out four to earn his first victory of the year.
EDGE Analysis
Rea was thrusted back into the Brewers' rotation following the injury news to Eric Lauer (shoulder) after Rea was demoted to Triple-A Nashville following his last start May 14. The 32-year-old turned in his first scoreless outing of the year while only allowing two runners to even reach second base. It was a major bounce back performance and he'll have some more leash with big club after Lauer's injury. Rea now sports a 4.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB over 36.1 innings and is lined up to face the Giants next over the weekend.
