Heuer did not pitch in the few days he was active since being recalled on September 14. The Orioles needed the roster spot for Cade Povich so he could start tonight against the Brewers.

Heuer gets a look with the Orioles after firing 14 2/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Norfolk since being acquired from the Brewers last month. The well-traveled 30-year-old has made 97 career appearances between five different teams since 2020.

Heuer finds himself on the move for the second time in less than a week after heading to Milwaukee in the Bo Naylor trade over the weekend. The 30-year-old is merely organizational relief depth at this stage of his career.

Heuer has made 97 relief appearances in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, including eight for the Guardians earlier this season. He’s purely a middle reliever at this stage of his career, but the Brewers didn’t really have to give up much to add him to their bullpen mix. He’ll basically replace the departing Yoho in their low-leverage equation. He’ll head to Triple-A Nashville for the moment, but should make it to Milwaukee once rosters expand.

Heuer is optioned to make room for a fresh arm in left-hander Will Dion. It seems likely that Heuer will be back as a mid-inning option for Cleveland at some point this summer.

The 30-year-old has a 5.63 ERA in eight innings across seven appearances with the Guardians this season. He simply hasn’t been as effective as he was back in 2020 and 2021 before his injuries.

A corresponding move will reportedly be made on Friday. Heuer allowed five earned runs in eight innings with the Guardians while striking out six and walking five. The 29-year-old will likely ride the Columbus-Cleveland shuttle again when the team needs a fresh arm.

Heuer replaces Erik Sabrowski, with Sabrowski placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. Heuer will be a middle-inning option in this stint with the Guardians.

Heuer was up with the big league club for a couple of days while Peyton Pallette was away on paternity leave, now he’ll head back with Pallette rejoining the bullpen on Friday. The 29-year-old right-hander holds a 3.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 3/1 K/BB ratio across 2 2/3 innings in two appearances for the Guardians this season. He should get another opportunity at some point this summer.

Heuer returns to the big leagues with rookie Peyton Pallette away from the club on paternity leave for a couple days. The 29-year-old was just shipped to the minors prior to Monday’s series opener against the Tigers and probably didn’t even make it to Triple-A Columbus before turning around.

Heuer pitched two innings for the Guardians while he was up. He should get another chance for innings this summer.

Heuer has a 2.57 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 12/7 K/BB ratio in 14 innings at Triple-A this season. The 29-year-old had the look of an impactful reliever when he made his MLB debut as a 23-year-old back in 2020. However, he battled injuries and didn’t make any MLB appearances between 2022 and 2024 before returning for just 4 2/3 innings in 2025. It would be a nice story to see him re-emerge as a solid bullpen piece.

The 29-year-old hurler earns a spot on the team’s 40-man roster, but he doesn’t win a spot in the club’s Opening Day bullpen. He’ll start out the season as extra depth at the Triple-A level and should be the next man up when the Guardians need a fresh arm.

Heuer only pitched 4 2/3 innings in the big leagues last year and had not thrown an MLB inning since 2021 prior to that. The 29-year-old had a 3.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 62/17 K/BB ratio in 48 2/3 innings at Triple-A last year and feels like a decent bet to make the Guardians’ bullpen.

Heuer had been pitching for Triple-A Toledo after giving up two runs in 3 1/3 innings over two appearances for the Tigers last month. He could quickly surface in another team’s pen, but he won’t be postseason eligible.
