MILWAUKEE -- Lewis Brinson's latest visit to Miller Park was "a little bit" bittersweet. He'd hoped to be part of the Brewers' chase for the Wild Card, but a season-ending hamstring injury in August dashed those hopes.
So Brinson, MLBPipeline.com's top Brewers prospect, was in street clothes when he arrived Tuesday to accept his Robin Yount Performance Award as the organization's Minor League Player of the Year. He was honored alongside pitcher of the year Corbin Burnes in a pregame ceremony before the Reds-Brewers game.
"Coming in here and seeing all the guys again and they're in the middle of the playoff race, it's definitely bittersweet," Brinson said.
