Nerd Power is back.
The Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday activated infielder Eric Sogard from the 10-day disabled list. To make room on the roster for Sogard, slumping center fielder Keon Broxton was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Sogard had been on the disabled list due to a sore ankle. He played in one rehab game before rejoining the team Friday in Philadelphia, although he wasn’t activated until Saturday. The 31-year-old Sogard has a slash line of .331/.438/.485 this since being called up in May.
Broxton has been mired in a horrific slump, with just three hits in his last 50 at-bats dating back to June 28.
