Around the Minors

Luis Aviles, Wisconsin: The versatile Aviles, a 30th-round draft pick of the Brewers in 2013, made some serious noise last week with six consecutive multi-hit games that upped his average from .238 to .312. The 21-year-old Miami native hit just .195 in a 57-game stint with the Timber Rattlers in 2015, so his progress this year is impressive.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK

David Burkhalter, Wisconsin: Burkhalter, a sixth-round pick of the Brewers in 2014, turned in one of the organization's best starts so far this season May 17. The right-hander threw eight shutout innings, allowing just three hits and striking out six, in a victory over Burlington.
