Luke Voit Designated For Assignment Monday
2 years agoThe Milwaukee Brewers activated first baseman Luke Voit (neck) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and then designated him for assignment. Voit hit .221 (15-for-68) with three doubles, no home runs, four RBI, two stolen bases, five runs scored and 27 strikeouts in 74 plate appearances and 22 games for the Brew Crew before he landed on the injured list. For now, the Brewers will stick with Darin Ruf as a platoon option at first base and designated hitter, although Voit could stick around in the organization if he clears waivers. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger led the big leagues in home runs (22) in the COVID-shortened 2020 season (56 games), but he slugged 22 homers again last year in 135 games with the Padres and Nationals.
