Lobstein was traded from the Nationals to the Brewers in exchange for cash considerations Tuesday. He was assigned to Triple-A Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Lobstein was DFA'd by Washington on Saturday. The southpaw allowed three earned runs in 1.1 big-league innings this season but has a tidy 1.69 ERA to go along with a 25:8 K:BB in Triple-A. He'll continue the campaign at Nashville, and figures to have a chance to join the Brewers' bullpen later this season.

The Nationals designated Lobstein for assignment Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday but now loses his 40-man roster spot to make room for catcher Jakson Reetz. It remains to be seen whether Lobstein will earn any more big-league opportunities in 2021.

The Nationals recalled Lobstein from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty has posted a 1.69 ERA in 16 Triple-A relief appearances this season, with all four of his earned runs coming in one outing May 22. Since that rough performance, Lobstein has pitched 13.2 scoreless innings with 15 strikeouts and just one walk. He'll join a Nationals bullpen that, along with many of its top relievers, is now without Tanner Rainey (leg).

Lobstein signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw has thrown 128 innings at the big-league level, but the last of those came back in 2016. With a 5.06 ERA in those innings and an unimpressive track record in the minors since then, there's little reason to believe he'll fill an important role in Washington this season.

Lobstein signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics which includes an invitation to spring training, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lobstein spent time in the Mexican League and on the Dodgers' farm in 2018, compiling a combined 3.42 ERA and 7.9 K/9 across 25 starts (131.2 innings). The 29-year-old lefty hasn't pitched in the majors since 2016 and owns a career 5.06 ERA and 5.2 K/9 across 128 big-league innings (three seasons).
