The Super Two deadline passed, and the flood gates have opened. First, it was outfielder Brett Phillips. Next up, left-handed pitcher Josh Hader. Now, Lewis Brinson is joining the mix.
After Jonathan Villar went down last night, it was a very likely scenario that he would need at least some time on the disabled list to recover from his back injury. He’s the third position player the Brewers are down, with Ryan Braun still on the DL and Travis Shaw on the emergency family medical list. It gave the Brewers a chance to call up some of their top prospects, and now, another one is joining the ranks.
