What a return for the Brewers outfielder
After being called up on April 19 after an injury to Garrett Mitchell, Perkins was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on May 1 but while in Triple- A, Perkins hit for a high-average hitting .317, four home runs, and 17 RBI’s in 142 AB’s.
Perkins was called up today after the team placed two players on the injured list on Saturday Tyrone Taylor (right elbow sprain) and Darin Ruf (right knee laceration). The team called up Perkins and Jon Singleton who hasn’t appeared in an MLB game since 2015 with the Houston Astros.
Perkins also joins Brice Turang as having their first Major League home run be a grand slam (Turang did it in this year’s home opener against the Mets.)
