The Milwaukee Brewers have called up outfield prospect Luis Lara ahead of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals and optioned Blake Perkins to the minors. According to Yahoo Sports, Lara’s promotion comes nearly a month after he signed a seven-year, $31 million contract. The move places Lara on the major league roster in advance of games labeled as a day’s doubleheader against the Cardinals. The Winnipeg Free Press reports the same roster transactions, citing Lara’s call-up prior to the doubleheader and Perkins’ reassignment to the minor leagues. While the sources confirm the timing and the personnel changes, they do not provide additional details about Lara’s specific role in the lineup or Perkins’ destination in the minor leagues. Overall, the information across outlets centers on the Brewers’ decision to bring Lara to the majors in the days leading into the Cardinals matchup and to create roster space by sending Perkins down.
