Ariel Pena - S - Brewers

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said prospect right-hander Ariel Pena has received his visa in the Dominican Republic and is expected to arrive in camp on Wednesday.

Pena, who was acquired from the Angels last July in the Zack Greinke deal, posted a 3.93 ERA and 140/65 K/BB ratio over 146 2/3 innings at the Double-A level in 2012. The 23-year-old has struggled with his command, so many believe he'll end up in the bullpen in the long run. Baseball America ranked him as the organization's No. 22 prospect over the winter.

Brewers acquired RHP Ariel Pena, SS Jean Segura and RHP Johnny Hellweg from the Angels for RHP Zack Greinke.

The 23-year-old right-hander has posted a 6-6 record, 2.99 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 111/42 K/BB ratio over 19 starts spanning 114 1/3 innings for Double-A Arkansas this season. He’s considered close to big league ready and could have a shot to pitch in the Brewers rotation at some point this season.

Ariel Pena - S - Brewers

Angels optioned RHP Ariel Pena to Double-A Arkansas.

Pena, 22, compiled a 4.39 ERA and 183/85 K/BB ratio over 155 2/3 innings last season between High- and Triple-A. He has an intriguing arm but will need to develop a third pitch if he wants to stick as a starter.

Ariel Pena - S - Brewers

Angels purchased the contract of RHP Ariel Pena from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Pena, 22, compiled a 4.39 ERA and 183/85 K/BB ratio over 155 2/3 innings this season between High-A Inland Empire and Triple-A Salt Lake. He has a potent fastball/slider combo, but has yet to develop an effective third pitch, which could have him bullpen-bound in the long-run.
