Mike Brosseau Getting Closer for Brewers

Yesterday the Milwaukee Brewers sent infielder Mike Brosseau out on a rehab assignment to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. He has been on the injured list since late August and is looking to get back to the big leagues.

After suffering a strained right oblique injury, Mike Brosseau was put on the injured list effective August 23. He is one game shy of tying his career-best games played mark, and considering his 114 OPS+ being a solid mark, the Brewers would like him back sooner rather than later.

In his return to action last night, Brosseau went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Given the Brewers actions this season, sending him to Single-A suggests a short stint and keeps him in close proximity for a quick return. Milwaukee is reeling in the National League Central Division and desperately trying to chase down the St. Louis Cardinals.
