The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly heading into a pivotal 19-game-in-18-day stretch shorthanded as they open their series against the Cincinnati Reds. While no official announcement has been made, it was previously reported that outfielder Isaac Collins would miss the series for the birth of his child. Now, it appears Blake Perkins may also be unavailable.
Outfielder Blake Perkins may be unavailable against the Cincinnati Reds
Per Blake Perkin’s MLB transaction page, he was placed on the bereavement list on August 14. The bereavement list is a temporary roster designation that allows a player to take time off due to a death or serious illness in their immediate family. This has not yet been confirmed by the organization, but if true Perkins would not count against the team’s 26-man active roster while on the list.
Tyler Black and Steward Berroa have reportedly been called up by the Milwaukee Brewers
With Collins and Perkin’s reportedly unavailable against the Reds, Francys Romero indicated that Tyler Black and Steward Berrora were called up to the big leagues. Black is primarily an infielder, whereas Berrora is a speedy outfielder who could make an impact over the weekend series, especially with Jackson Chourio still sidelined with a hamstring injury.
