A 2023 eighth-round draft pick, Yoho has been lights out this season, delivering 9 2\/3 innings of scoreless baseball across eight appearances with one save. His call-up comes at a time when Milwaukee&#8217;s bullpen has struggled mightily, ranking 26th in MLB with a 5.54 ERA, the fourth worst mark in the National League. Yoho now gets his shot to provide much-needed stability to a relief corps in search of answers.<\/p>\n<h2>Brewers Calling Up Reliever Craig Yoho<\/h2>\n<p>Yoho had one of the most remarkable minor league seasons in recent memory for the Brewers, earning the organization&#8217;s Minor League Pitcher of the Year honors in 2024. He dominated at High-A Wisconsin, posting a 1.27 ERA over 23 innings in 18 appearances before earning a promotion to Triple-A Nashville on August 6. On August 9, Yoho tossed a scoreless inning against Indianapolis in his Triple-A debut.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Brewers are calling up reliever Craig Yoho, per <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CyrtHogg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@CyrtHogg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s, uh, pretty nasty.<\/p>\n<p>Trust us \u2b07\ufe0f <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n9dCH8YkeL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/n9dCH8YkeL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Baseball America (@BaseballAmerica) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BaseballAmerica\/status\/1914397393421787216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Across three levels last season, Yoho finished with a staggering 0.94 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 101 strikeouts over 57 2\/3 innings. From June 18 to August 24, he didn&#8217;t allow an earned run, a streak spanning 19 appearances and 21 2\/3 innings between Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Nashville. During that stretch, Yoho struck out 41 batters, held opponents to a .141 average and carried a 0.83 WHIP. Over 70 innings in his minor-league career, Yoho has a 1.16 ERA and 113 strikeouts to only 27 walks allowed.<\/p>\n<p>His changeup, a double-plus offering on scouting scales, generates massive movement in multiple directions and is considered his pbest pitch. Yoho also throws a 92-94 mph slider, a cutter in the upper 80s and a mid-70s sweeper.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers will need to make a corresponding roster move, both the active 26-man roster and the 40-man roster.
