Brewers Bring Back Ornelas on Minor League Deal Ahead of Postseason Deadline
Milwaukee re-signed the 26-year-old infielder just before the cutoff for postseason roster eligibility, adding depth at Triple-A Nashville.
The Brewers re-signed infielder Jonathan Ornelas to a minor league contract, assigning him to Triple-A Nashville. Ornelas had previously been waived by Milwaukee after being acquired in a minor league trade with the Athletics. He served as depth cover while rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt dealt with a minor hamstring strain. The signing came just before the deadline for postseason eligibility, though he would likely need multiple infield injuries to crack an October roster.
