Overview
- Milwaukee sent Perkins to Triple-A Nashville, effectively securing Lockridge a roster spot for the March 26 opener.
- Lockridge hit .314 with four home runs and a 1.128 OPS this spring after swing and approach adjustments that boosted his bat speed and exit velocity.
- Manager Pat Murphy said the call weighed overall roster fit, noting Perkins' value as a recent Gold Glove finalist but prioritizing what benefits the club now.
- The Brewers plan to carry 13 position players, with 14 still in camp, leaving non-roster catcher Reese McGuire as the likely odd man out.
- Shortstop Cooper Pratt was reassigned to minor-league camp, while Tyler Black and pitcher Logan Henderson were optioned to Triple-A, with Henderson on a controlled workload build following recent elbow soreness.
