ST. LOUIS -- The Brewers selected the contract of infielder Will Middlebrooks from Triple-A Colorado Springs and optioned outfielder Keon Broxton following Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Cardinals. Pitcher Chris Capuano was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
Middlebrooks was batting .282 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs in 68 games this season with the Sky Sox. The former Boston Red Sox last saw Major League action last season with the Padres when he hit .212 with a .602 OPS in 83 games.
"We're just trying to get a guy who is really swinging the bat well," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
