Sal to IL…..Perkins recalled

would have liked to see him get some consistent ABs in AAA before the recall. Kind of disappointing, but I guess it keeps them from having to DFA someone.

This resolves concerns about playing time for Lara.

Not surprised that Frelick went to IL.

I was half expecting to hear that Contreras would be going after the incident in the 10th inning last night. I don’t expect him to be in the lineup today. 

Another tough pitching matchup for the slumping Brewers offense. 
 

ETA Contreras is catching again today

Contreras is a tough dude…….just wish he could find his bat again

That throw was poor.  I made the comment at the time something is wrong with his arm.  I feel like most of his throws this year are a downgrade from last year.  I dont have any stars on that, but the eye test said he's had some sort of issue all year.

I really don't get the Perkins "needs time to figure it out".  He was killing the ball when he went down.  His June numbers:

.320/.414/.560

Yes that is only in 29 PAs. But he stopped being the unplayable player he was in April and May.

Would have rather seen Black recalled.

They wanted a better defender and a right handed hitter I suspect.

Lara is going to get almost all the playing time anyway.

He said as much in his interview…….been dealing with this for a few months

For my money Black would be a good callup if Yelich went on the IL as they both fit the same role/profile. I suppose you could've recalled Black, split him up with Vaughn at 1B & thrown Bauers back in the OF, but this should give Lara a nice run of PT. Plus they're always going to put versatility & defense on a higher plain than many others do.

Perhaps its the ~.100 BA he carried for most of the season or the .222 BA with no XBH in Nashville thats skewing my perception of how fixed he clearly is
