The Brewers introduced this morning that they’ve chosen the contract of infielder/outfielder Isaac Collins. In corresponding strikes, outfielder Brewer Hicklen was optioned to Triple-A and outfielder Christian Yelich was transferred to the 60-day injured checklist. Yelich’s season got here to an finish when he underwent again surgical procedure final month.
Collins, 27, was a ninth-round choose by the Rockies again in 2019 and has but to make his main league debut. The Brewers plucked him from Colorado within the minor league part of the 2022 Rule 5 Draft, and he’s spent the previous two seasons within the higher ranges of Milwaukee’s minor league system. He’s carried out nicely in his first full season at Triple-A this 12 months, with a .273/.386/.475 slash line in 500 journeys to the plate. He’s supplemented that strong manufacturing on the plate with spectacular baserunning (24 steals in 29 makes an attempt) and the flexibility to play second base, third base, and everywhere in the outfield.
