Narvaez to Injured List, Alex Hall Promoted to Brewers

Omar Narvaez has had a strong season for the Brewers posting a .779 OPS across 32 games. His .274 average is above the career mark of .267 and he's been a mainstay in Milwaukee's lineup. While landing on the 10-day injured list with Covid should not have him out long, the Brewers will have to hope there's no lingering side effects.

On the flip side, it's quite the promotion for 22-year-old Alex Hall. Undrafted out of Australia, Hall is making the leap from High-A. With the Covid list not requiring a 40-man roster move, Hall is able to be added for Milwaukee without any roster shuffling. He's played in just six games this year, with a .698 OPS, but the small sample size has resulted in some of the best numbers of his career.

Given the promotion likely being one of proximity, it should be assumed that Narvaez will simply miss the minimum and then tag back in. One would hope that Hall will get into a game before being optioned, however, and that would be a pretty fun opportunity for him to make a Major League debut.
