Milwaukee has added outfielder Brandon Lockridge to their 10-day injured list following a leg injury, with the team bringing up Blake Perkins from their Triple-A affiliate in Nashville, according to Saturday reports from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
The 29-year-old Lockridge sustained his injury during Friday’s matchup with the New York Yankees when he collided with the wall while pursuing a foul ball in the fourth inning. Medical examinations ruled out fractures, but doctors found a deep cut that reached the bone.
This season, Lockridge has posted a .294 batting average across 28 games, recording four doubles and driving in 12 runs. Throughout his three-year major league career with San Diego and Milwaukee, he maintains a .251 batting average with one home run and 24 RBIs over 107 games.
The returning Perkins, also 29, struggled during his recent stint with Milwaukee, managing just five hits in 46 at-bats for a .109 average before being sent down to Nashville earlier this week. Over his four seasons with the Brewers organization, Perkins has compiled a .224 career average with 13 home runs and 87 RBIs in 261 games.
