Steward

Berroa

Congrats to Berroa on his new job. The Phillies will get by with a different bench outfielder for the time being.

García suffered a shoulder injury while attempting to throw out a runner at the plate on a seventh-inning sacrifice fly from Kazuma Okamoto. He was replaced by Steward Berroa in right field. He’ll undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of this issue.

The 26-year-old outfielder takes the roster spot of Otto Kemp after he was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. Berroa was hitting .250/.361/.400 with four homers, 20 RBI and nine stolen bases in 168 plate appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Expect him to see most of his work with the Phillies against left-handed pitching.

Berroa was designated for assignment by the Brewers last week, so the Phillies will acquire him to give them another potential outfielder who can start against left-handed pitching. Berroa hit .236/.348/.314 with 34 steals in the minors for the Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Brewers last year. He will start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Cooper Pratt has to go on the 40-man roster after signing an eight-year deal, so Berroa gets the boot. He opened the year on the IL with a shoulder strain and was just optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. The 26-year-old speedster hit .236/.348/.314 with 34 steals in the minors for the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Brewers last year.

Berroa opened the season o the injured list with a right shoulder strain that he suffered during spring training. He has already been rehabbing at Triple-A Nashville, so he’ll remain there in an everyday role until he’s needed at the big league level.

Berroa was placed on the injured list just before the start of the regular season with a shoulder strain. The 26-year-old isn’t a lock to see time with the Brewers after the rehab assignment concludes, but could be a bench option at some point.

Berroa is likely to head to Triple-A Nashville as organizational depth once he wraps up a minor league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old outfielder appeared in two games for the Brewers last year.

Berroa went 0-for-5 in a pair of games for the Brewers earlier this week while Blake Perkins was on bereavement leave.

Berroa will have a chance to make his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game. The 26-year-old takes the roster spot of Blake Perkins with Perkins on the bereavement list. Berroa doesn’t profile as more than organizational depth, and fantasy managers shouldn’t add consider a speculative roster addition.
