After his fourth short stint of the season with the Milwaukee Brewers, former Hopkinsville High School pitcher Easton McGee was optioned back to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds on Thursday night.
McGee, a 6-foot-7 right-handed pitcher, has pitched in seven games this season for the Brewers and has a 7.36 ERA. He has 10 strikeouts and walked five while giving up 12 hits in 11 innings of work.
The former Tigers star threw three innings for the Sounds in Friday night’s 4-1 loss to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. He allowed an unearned run and struck out five while allowing only two hits.
