Player News
Brewers optioned RHP Easton McGee to Triple-A Nashville.
McGee has made four appearances with the Brewers this season, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 5/3 K/BB ratio over six innings of work. No word yet on a corresponding move just yet, the Brewers will ride it out over the All-Star break before setting their roster before opening the second half of the season against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday.
Brewers activated OF Blake Perkins from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.
Time had run out on Perkins’ minor league rehab assignment so they needed to activate him from the 60-day injured list. He’ll remain at Triple-A Nashville, where he had been rehabbing, until the Brewers have a need for an extra outfielder.
Brewers designated OF Drew Avans for assignment.
The Brewers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the return of Blake Perkins from the 60-day injured list and unfortunately Avans drew the short straw this time around. It seems likely that the 29-year-old outfielder will pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Brewers.
Tigers signed RHP Geoff Hartlieb to a minor league contract.
The 31-year-old hurler elected free agency from the Yankees on Friday and it didn’t take him long to find another viable opportunity with a contender. He’ll report to Triple-A Toledo to begin his Tigers’ tenure, but don’t be surprised to see him in Motown shortly after the All-Star break.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, at least eight teams have reached out to the White Sox to express interest in acquiring Luis Robert Jr.
The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder is having a brutal season offensively, slashing .189/.275/.322 with nine homers, 34 RBI and 22 stolen bases. The common assumption though is that he just needs a change of scenery. Heyman didn’t note any of the teams that have checked in, but expect it to be a who’s who of contenders in both leagues.
José Fermín hit his first career homer, a two-run shot off Jesse Chavez, to lead the Cardinals past the Braves 5-4 on Sunday.
Fermín’s homer in his 159th plate appearances since debuting with the Cardinals in 2023. It’s his ability to make contact that has him in the majors, and he’s gone 7-for-18 with a 2/2 K/BB in his 10 appearances this season. St. Louis, though, might send him down when Jordan Walker comes off the IL.
