The Brewers made a quartet of transactions prior to today’s game with the Blue Jays, including the headline news that Jackson Chouio Is activated from the 10-day wounded list. Outfield Brandon Lockkridge It was chosen to make Triple-A to make room for Chouio on the 26-man selection. Milwaukee also activated Robert Gasser Of the 60-day IL and gave the Southpaw to Triple-A, and to create space for Gasser in the 40-man schedule, Infielder Oliver Dunn was designated for assignment.
Chouio played for the last time on July 29, when he tightened his judge Hamstring while he ran the bases after a triple. The injury complained what a burning piece had been for Chouio, who had a 1,065 Ops about the 93 plate performances prior to his IL -Stint. That hot streak brought Chouio’s seasonal sloping line to .276/.311/.474 about 472 PA-Bijna Identic to the figures he placed during his 2024 season in 573 PA. The Outfielder also beaten 17 homers and stolen 18 base, 2024 totals from 21 home runs and 22 steals are approaching.
It is proof of the depth of Milwaukee that the Bewers did not miss a beat in the absence of Chouio, because the club went 20-9 without an important part of their start outfield. The Brew Crew now has the good problem of too many outfield options for too few places, such as Blake Perkins will be shaken in the fourth Outfielder obligation with Chouio and occasionally Sal Frelick Take over as the primary center fellowers. Isaac Collins Has settled as a normal left field player, so that Chouio and Frelick stay in the middle and right in a certain capacity, and Perkins offers excellent glove work from the couch.
This surplus is a good omen for the opportunities of the brewers to make a World Series-Run, and Gasser can also take plans in the late season into account. The former top perspective placed a 2.57 ERA on his first 28 MLB -Innings (and five starts) in 2024 before surgery by Tommy John Snel ended with Gasser’s Rookie campaign. He already threw in nine Minor League matches as part of his recovery process, including five triple-a-a Nashville.
The recovery of the 60-day IL relates to the end of Gasser’s assigned 30-day rehabilitation star, and he will be performed in Nashville while waiting for a likely call-up in September. Although Gasser has worked almost exclusively as a starter during his career, it seems more likely that the Brewers would use him as a reliever if he was admitted to a postsease rosest. His things can play well in a bullpen role and make him a secret weapon for Milwaukee’s relief corps for the play-offs, although it would be a pressure that is under pressure for a 26-year-old has little main class experience and has just returned from a large operation.
Dunn had his own 2024 Rookie season ending early due to a 60-day IL stint due to a back injury. Seen as a potential competition to regularly win work as the third base of the Brewers on the way to 2025, Dunn did not hit much in his limited time in the Majors and hit .206/.261/.290 over 145 record performances. Milwaukee gave Dunn to Triple-A in April, and now the DFA of today could fully end the time of the Infielder in the organization.
Teams interested in adding Infield -depth can take into account a distance statement, Plus Dunn still has a minor league option year that strengthens its grille flexibility. He brings some defensive versatility as a regular second and third baseman, plus for some time as a short stop and left field player. The bat is Dunn’s big question mark, because he only beaten .205/.311/.338 in 459 career PA at the Triple-A level, together with his non-inspiring small sample of Big League AT-Bats.
