Article: Brewers Outright Alex Hall to Wisconsin

[TL Schwerz]

Milwaukee didn’t need to make a Major League roster move yesterday for the first time in a while, but they did find the results of a waiver situation. After designating catcher Alex Hall for assignment, he went unclaimed on waivers and stayed in the organization.

After Omar Narvaez went down with Covid for the Brewers, Milwaukee needed a warm body to stand behind the plate in a pinch. They selected the contract of Alex Hall given the proximity while he was with Single-A Wisconsin. Once they were able to promote Alex Jackson from Triple-A Nashville, Hall was jettisoned from the 40-man roster. A 22-year-old non-prospect at Single-A, he predictably went unclaimed and then found himself outrighted back to the Timber Rattlers.

Hall did not appear in a game for Milwaukee and will return to the lower level of the farm system with hopes of working his way back to a Major League debut. Jackson takes over in a rotational role with fellow backstop Victor Caratini.
