Blake Perkins Reinstated, Optioned to Minors
The Milwaukee Brewers have reinstated outfielder Blake Perkins (shin/groin) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, per a team announcement. The Brewers made room for him on their 40-man roster by designating outfielder Drew Avans for assignment. Perkins has yet to play in the majors this year as a result of multiple injuries. He fouled a ball off his right shin and suffered a fracture in February, and then he dealt with a small setback in his rehab this month because of a groin issue. While the 28-year-old will remain in the minors for now, he could return to Milwaukee soon if starting outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) requires a stint on the 10-day IL. There's uncertainty surrounding Frelick after he left the Brewers' 8-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday with hamstring discomfort. The defensively adept Perkins was a regular for the Brewers last year and would make for a logical Frelick replacement. Perkins accumulated 434 plate appearances in 2024 and batted .240/.316/.332 with six homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored, and 23 stolen bases.
