Brewers Closing in on Reinforcements, Two Arms Activated

Milwaukee had been without Mike Brosseau since June 1. He has primarily played on the left side of the infield for the Brewers, and his absence was notable given the career year he’s currently experiencing. Through 32 games for The Crew, Brosseau’s 137 OPS+ is rivaled by only a 36-game stretch with Tampa Bay in 2020.

Both Jandel Gustave and Trevor Gott returning to the bullpen give Milwaukee options where they’ve had to consistently shuffle arms. Gott owns a 3.68 ERA across 22 innings this season while Gustave has posted a 4.80 ERA in 15 innings.

Infielder Mark Mathias was optioned to Triple-A Nashville making room for Brosseau, while pitcher Peter Strzelecki was also optioned, and pitcher Miguel Sanchez was placed on the injured list with right UCL discomfort.

The Brewers did add third basemen Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Nashville, but they hope to have Kolten Wong back soon as he was sent on a rehab assignment to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
