Petricka picked up a save in Friday's spring game with a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka allowed two earned runs in his first outing of the spring, but he turned things around right way, and has been particularly stingy in March, allowing just one hit and one walk over 3.2 innings while punching out nine batters over that span. Petricka is competing for a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, and his chances have improved of late due to injuries to fellow reliever Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) and Bobby Wahl (knee).

Petricka signed a split contract with the Brewers on Tuesday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka elected free agency after being outrighted off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster in November. The 30-year-old still has a minor-league option remaining, which is the reason for the split deal. Petricka has a 5.43 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 67:22 K:BB across 71.1 innings over the last two seasons.

Petricka chose to become a free agent after being outrighted from Toronto's 40-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old right-hander threw 45.2 innings of relief for the Blue Jays in 2018, recording a mediocre 4.53 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. This was his first, and likely only, season in Toronto after spending the previous eight years in the White Sox's system. Looking ahead, he will likely occupy a low-leverage role with whatever organization he comes to terms with this winter.

Petricka was recalled by the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka has thrown 36 innings for the Jays this season, posting a mediocre 4.25 ERA. He'll likely fill a low-leverage relief role over the final month of the season.

Petricka was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka will head back to the minors in exchange for a fresh bullpen arm (Murphy Smith) after pitching back-to-back days over the weekend. The 30-year-old owns a serviceable 4.25 ERA across 36 innings of relief with the Blue Jays this season, so he'll likely return as a September call-up.

Petricka was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has a 0.90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 20 innings at Triple-A, but has had less success in a brief run in the majors (5.40 ERA, 2.40 WHIP). Look for him to pitch in low-leverage spots. Ryan Tepera (elbow) was placed on the 10-day disabled list in a corresponding move.

Petricka was was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Joe Biagini moving to the bullpen, Petricka became expendable, so he was sent to Buffalo as a corresponding move for several hitters being activated from the disabled list. Petricka has a 5.40 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and six strikeouts in 8.1 innings for the Jays this season.

Petricka was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka takes the roster spot which was opened up when Roberto Osuna was placed on administrative leave. Petricka made one appearance for the Blue Jays earlier in the season, allowing one run in 1.1 innings. He'll fill a low-leverage role in the Jays' bullpen.

Petricka was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka was recalled from Buffalo on Friday and allowed one run on three hits -- including two doubles -- over 1.1 innings during the loss to the Rays. The 29-year-old returns to Triple-A where he has allowed four runs (one earned) on seven hits and two walks across eight innings this season.

Petricka was called up from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Friday's game against Tampa Bay, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka appeared in five games for Buffalo over the past couple weeks, posting a 1.13 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in eight inning of relief. The 29-year-old struggled during 27 outings with the White Sox last year, but will get another chance at the major-league level in Toronto's bullpen. Expect him to serve out of low-leverage situations.
