The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-hander Ryan Walker from the San Francisco Giants for minor-league right-handers Blake Holub and Gavin Perry, the teams announced Sunday.

Walker struggled during the 2026 campaign, posting a 7.16 ERA and 5.52 FIP in 32 2/3 innings.

However, the 30-year-old was an integral part of the Giants' bullpen in 2024, when he authored a 1.91 ERA and 11.1 K/9 across 76 appearances.

Holub, 28, spent last season at Triple-A Nashville, where he operated in a relief role and recorded a 2.10 ERA in 55 2/3 innings.

Perry, 23, hasn't thrown a professional inning yet. He was selected in the 11th round of the 2026 entry draft after pitching for Western Kentucky last season.

Neither Holub nor Perry was among the Brewers' top 30 prospects on MLB Pipeline prior to the trade.
