Brady was cut from major-league spring training and reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Brady will likely open the year at Triple-A Colorado Springs. The 30-year-old threw 31.2 innings over 16 games in the majors last season as a member of the A's, posting a 5.68 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in that time.

Brady agreed to a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brady became a free agent in early November after declining an outright assignment to Triple-A within the Athletics' organization. The 30-year-old made his major-league debut in 2017, posting a 5.68 ERA over 31.2 innings of relief with the A's. He'll have an outside shot at making the Brewers' Opening Day roster with a strong performance during spring ball.

Brady was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
With numerous players being brought off the 60-day DL, the A's had to make room on the 40-man roster and opted to outright Brady. Brady pitched 31.2 innings over 16 games last season. In that time he owned a subpar 5.68 ERA and 1.23 WHIP.

Brady fired three clean innings in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Mariners, recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Brady got his nine outs on an efficient 30 pitches, a welcome respite from his recent struggles. The 30-year-old right-hander had allowed a combined seven earned runs in two of his previous three outings, and Monday's effort represented his longest scoreless appearance of the season. However, despite Monday's blanking, he retains an unsightly 10.50 ERA across six September frames, and a 5.87 figure on the season.

Brady gave up five earned runs on six hits over an inning in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Brady entered the game with the Athletics down a manageable three runs, but he allowed that deficit to extend to eight during a disastrous eighth inning. The right-hander was done in by a small-ball attack, as the five runs he surrendered came off three singles and a pair of fielder's choice groundouts.The 30-year-old reliever has given up a total of seven earned runs in the three outings since his return from Triple-A Nashville, and 14 earned runs overall in his last five major-league appearances (two starts) dating back to Aug. 1.

Brady was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the club placed Paul Blackburn (wrist) on the disabled list. Brady may get the opportunity to earn a spot start against the Angles on Tuesday, but any official word will likely come later on this weekend. During 10 appearances with the A's this season -- all coming out of the bullpen -- Brady has posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 23.2 innings.

Brady was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brady's demotion opens up a spot on the active roster for Daniel Gossett, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Orioles. The 30-year-old Brady has mostly served as a long reliever out of the Oakland bullpen this season, logging a 4.56 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 23.2 innings.

Brady gave up three earned runs on seven hits over 5.1 innings in Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Orioles while also recording five strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Brady ate up some valuable innings for manager Bob Melvin after starter Sean Manaea was shockingly shelled in the opening frame. Just recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, the 30-year-old right-hander's first outing back certainly had a bit of deja vu attached, as he'd worked six innings in relief of Manaea as well on Aug. 1 before being sent down. Brady has bounced between Triple-A and the majors plenty this season, with his ability to fill a variety of roles keeping him valuable to the Athletics.

Brady was called back up by the A's prior to Friday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Brady will rejoin the team after being optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 2. The reliever has appeared in eight games for Oakland this season, posting a 4.15 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over the course of 17.1 innings. He projects to serve in low-leverage situations for the foreseeable future.
