Overview

  • Luis Urias signed a minor-league contract and will report to Triple-A Nashville for his second stint with the Brewers.
  • The infielder was designated for assignment by the Athletics, cleared waivers, and was released late last month before reaching this agreement.
  • Oakland remains responsible for roughly $180,000 of his $1.1 million salary, offset by any prorated MLB minimum the Brewers pay if he reaches the majors.
  • Urias posted a .230/.315/.338 line with eight home runs in 330 plate appearances for the A’s this season and earned a $300,000 incentive by surpassing 300 plate appearances.
  • He would be eligible for the postseason only if Milwaukee adds him to the 40-man roster, and his versatility offers depth as Joey Ortiz returns from a hamstring strain and Caleb Durbin holds third base.
