Brewers add catcher Bo Naylor and reliever JoJo Romero to their active roster
On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their roster by adding catcher Bo Naylor and reliever JoJo Romero. Naylor was recalled from Triple-A Nashville while Romero was reinstated from the 15-day injured list following an appendectomy. With this move, the Brewers now have three catchers on the roster, joining William Contreras and Gary Sánchez.
The addition of Naylor provides the team with an extra left-handed bat and the flexibility to utilize Gary Sánchez as a designated hitter more frequently. Naylor, 26, has been struggling offensively in recent seasons but brings valuable major league experience and a positive attitude. He struggled with the Guardians in his recent stint before being optioned to Triple-A Columbus on May 9.
The Brewers acquired Romero and right-hander Dustin May from St. Louis in exchange for two minor league outfielders on August 3. Romero, who turns 30 on September 9, hasn't pitched in a Major League Baseball game since July 12 and currently holds a 1-3 record with a 3.35 ERA in 44 appearances this year.
