A few small roster moves to report on Tuesday morning
The Milwaukee Brewers made a couple of small roster moves this morning. In the first, Daz Cameron returned from paternity leave, and Drew Avans was optioned to Triple-A Nashville. In the other, Garrett Mitchell was sent to Nashville on a rehab assignment.
Avans played one game with the Brewers after a seven-game stint with the Athletics, which was his first major league action, earlier this year. Avans went 0-for-2 with a sac fly and the first RBI of his career in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.
Cameron last appeared with the Brewers last Monday and will resume the backup outfielder role he has been fulfilling since late April — at least until Mitchell returns. Mitchell has been on the 10-day injured list since April 26 with an oblique strain but started playing games in the Arizona Complex League last week. He was moved to Nashville for his rehab assignment quicker than fellow injured outfielder Blake Perkins, who needs more ramp-up time than Mitchell because he missed almost all of spring training.
