SAN DIEGO -- Bryse Wilson is back with the Milwaukee Brewers three days after they had designated the veteran right-handed pitcher for assignment. The Brewers announced before their game against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday that they had signed Wilson to a one-year contract and placed him on their active roster. The Brewers also designated right-hander Lyon Richardson for assignment.

Wilson was designated for assignment and Richardson was promoted from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday when the Brewers were needing a fresh arm for their bullpen. The move came one day after Wilson had allowed only one baserunner while pitching three innings of shutout relief during an 8-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

The Brewers, who have the best record in the major leagues, began a stretch of 17 games in 17 days on July 31. Wilson, 28, owns an 0-0 record and 2.63 ERA in six appearances with the Brewers. After he cleared waivers and was optioned to Triple-A Nashville, Wilson opted for free agency. Now he's with the Brewers again.

The Brewers also announced Tuesday that the Oakland Athletics had claimed left-hander Drew Rom off waivers. Rom, who was designated for assignment Sunday, went 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA in five games with Milwaukee.
