the brewers activated freddy peralta from the 60-day injured list. to make room on the 40-man roster, a player was designated for assignment.
dinelson lamet has been designated for assignment. the club has seven days to activate release waivers or attempt outright waivers. although lamet has never accepted an outright assignment before, because he has at least three years service time, he reserves the right to refuse an outright assignment if he clears waivers, and become a free agent. and given that he just passed five years of service time, if he clears outright waivers, his contract is still guaranteed by the brewers.
pedro severino has also been designated for assignment. the club has seven days to activate release waivers or attempt outright waivers. if severino clears outright waivers, he reserves the right to refuse the minor league assignment and become a free agent. unlike lamet, he must forfeit any remaining guaranteed money on his contract if he refuses the minor league assignment.
