When the Milwaukee Brewers made the decision to call up Tyler Saladino, they designated longtime utility man Hernan Perez for assignment and provide a challenger to Orlando Arcia at short.
It’s been a pretty weak challenge so far.
Through 14 games, Saladino has hit a paltry .091 with a .209 OPS. Saladino has struck out 15 times in 33 at-bats, which earns him a 45% strikeout rate. He had another pair of strikeouts on Saturday night, going 0-for-3.
