Prior to their series opener against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night, the Brewers activated outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the 7-day concussion injured list.
Because the Brewers optioned Jason Alexander before the All-Star break, there was no need for a corresponding move to activate Taylor.
The 28-year-old has stepped into an everyday role in wake of Lorenzo Cain’s struggles and eventual release. He has showcased his raw power by hitting nine home runs, but poor plate discipline has hampered his overall production. Taylor has slashed .228/.277/.423 for a 93 wRC+ in 62 games.
