Article: Mike Brosseau to IL, Brewers Make Six Moves

[TL Schwerz]

The Milwaukee Brewers were busy this afternoon with a host of moves impacting the active roster. Just a day after catcher Alex Hall was promoted to replace Omar Narvaez on the roster, he was designated for assignment. That was just one of six pre-game transactions today.

Alex Hall was called up as a replacement for Omar Narvaez solely because he was in Wisconsin. A 22-year-old in High-A, the hope was that he’d have made an appearance before being jettisoned, but the opportunity never presented itself last night.

Hall is replaced on the active roster by Alex Jackson, a catcher recalled from Triple-A Nashville. Coming with Jackson are infielder Pablo Reyes, and right-handed pitcher Luke Barker. They take the roster spots of Mike Brosseau and Peter Strzelecki. Brosseau hit the injured list with a right ankle sprain.

Brosseau is having a solid year for Milwaukee posting a 118 OPS+ across 31 games. He has primarily played on the left side of the infield. Torres will now shuffle in to take some of those at bats while he’s out.

A former 6th overall pick by the Atlanta Braves, Jackson is now on his third organization. He has played in three games for Milwaukee this year and will have a chance to rotate reps with Victor Caratini as long as Narvaez is out. Barker returns just days after previously being up taking the roster spot of Ethan Small.
