The Brewers made roster changes by designating outfielder Avans for assignment, freeing a 40-man roster spot for Blake Perkins, who was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after a rehabilitation period. Avans has had limited major league exposure, performing poorly in 18 plate appearances. His minor league statistics indicate stronger potential with a decent batting average and considerable stolen bases. If another team claims him, he may continue his career; if not, he could be assigned to the minor leagues again.
The Brewers designated outfielder Avans for assignment, opening a 40-man roster spot for Blake Perkins, who was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after returning from rehab.
Avans made his MLB debut with the Athletics, appearing in seven games, but has only two singles and a low OPS in the majors after his waiver claim.
During his minor league career, Avans has posted a .275/.374/.408 slash line with 37 home runs and 145 stolen bases over 2328 career plate appearances.
If Avans clears waivers, he's ineligible for free agency, allowing the Brewers to either release him or send him to Triple-A Nashville.
