Two days ago, the Milwaukee Brewers announced the placement of catcher Manny Pina on the disabled list and called up 23 year old Jacob Nottingham to the big leagues for the first time. A former 6th round pick of the Houston Astros back in 2013, Nottingham has been traded twice in his career - first to Oakland around the deadline in 2015 as a part of the Scott Kazmir deal, then from the Golden State to Milwaukee a few months later in the Khris Davis trade prior to the start of the 2016 season. Nottingham debuted two nights ago in the laugher against the Reds, appearing as a defensive replacement behind the plate starting in the 7th inning while drawing two walks and scoring a run in two plate appearances.
