Milwaukee Brewers: Why won’t they bring back Hernan Perez?
The Milwaukee Brewers designated Hernan Perez for assignment back on June 28th. Is it time to bring him back up to the big leagues?
It came as a surprise that Hernan Perez was not claimed on waivers after being DFA’ed over a month ago. But he accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A to stick with the Milwaukee Brewers organization.
In that time, Tyler Saladino came up to be the backup shortstop, which was a complete disaster, despite his two grand slams. Saladino was far worse than Perez was offensively in 2019 and has since been sent back to Triple-A. So now the backup shortstop is Mike Moustakas, who hasn’t played shortstop in a game in over a decade.
How is Hernan Perez playing?
