Brewers DFA Luis Matos, Call Up Tyler Black

0:00On April 24th, the Milwaukee Brewers moved quick on the Weas Matos, designating the in-fielder-slash-out-fielder for Simon just three weeks after, grabbing him from the San Francisco Giants for cash. They made the call Friday and brought up utility guy Tyler Black to fill the spot right away. Matos came over as a former top prospect, who bonded with Brewer star Jackson Churrio back in their teen days in Venezuela, but he couldn't get it. Going here, just 21 plate appearances with a batting line of 200-slash-238-200 and a 438-OPS. On four hits, because he's out of options, any teen claiming Matos off waivers has to keep him on the active roster. He's got one to two years of service time, so if he sticks somewhere, that club controls him for four more seasons after this one. If he clears, Brewers could stash him as depth, while Black brings some pop from Triple A A Nashville, hitting 282-slash-378. Slash 410 with one homer in 10 games, plus 23 big league looks since last year.
