One of these days, the Milwaukee Brewers will catch a break when it comes to injuries.<\/p>\n
Monday, however, was not that day.<\/p>\n
Just a few hours after getting reliever<\/a> Bryan Hudson back from the injured list following a two-week absence with an oblique strain, the Brewers placed outfielder Blake Perkins<\/a>\u00a0on the 10-day IL with a strained left calf.<\/p>\n With a bumper crop of young, talented outfield prospects as well as veteran left fielder Christian Yelich<\/a>, Perkins, who signed as a free agent last November, wasn’t expected to be an everyday player for Milwaukee,<\/p>\n However, injuries to Garrett Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0and Yelich opened the door to Perkins’ regular playing time. He was slashing .257\/.330\/.363 with eight doubles, two triples, six home runs, and 34 RBIs to go along with 17 stolen bases and a .693 OPS in 90 games this season.<\/p>\n First baseman Tyler Black was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to replace Perkins on Milwaukee’s active roster.<\/p>\n With Perkins joining Yelich, Mitchell will likely see the majority of the action in the center with Jackson Chourio<\/a>\u00a0and Sal Frelick<\/a>\u00a0covering the corners, leaving Jake Bauers<\/a>, who has played primarily at first base in 2024 but has made seven starts in left and two more in the right this season, to fill the fourth outfielder role.<\/p>\n Black, meanwhile, gives the Brewers another left-handed bat. They’ll face almost exclusively right-handed starting pitchers as they head into a stretch.<\/p>\n Main Photo Credits: \u00a0Max Correa \/ The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of these days, the Milwaukee Brewers will catch a break when it comes to injuries.
