The Brewers have made several roster moves ahead of tonight’s game with the Cincinnati Reds:
The most notable item is the return of Jacob Misiorowski. For those who read the tea leaves, this wasn’t a major surprise: it was known that he’d pitch somewhere today, and when reports surfaced that he traveled to Cincinnati with the team and they still hadn’t named a starter, it looked increasingly likely that Miz would be the guy. According to Adam McCalvy, tonight’s
start will be a short one (and DL Hall looks like the likely piggybacker). To make room for Misiorowski, it’s Grant Anderson who has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville—not Tobias Myers, who would’ve been the guess of some.
The rest of the moves revolve around two temporary absences: Isaac Collins, who has been placed on the paternity list (congrats, Isaac) and Blake Perkins, who was been placed on the bereavement list (condolences, Blake). In their place the Brewers brought up Tyler Black and newcomer Steward Berroa from Triple-A Nashville. Black and Berroa are the only two players who were on Nashville’s roster who both can play the outfield and were already on the 40-man roster (so no move is necessary there), so it makes sense that the two of them would get the call. Expect to see a lot of Brandon Lockridge this weekend, too, and probably some Christian Yelich in left field.
