Brett Lawrie: Released by Brewers

Lawrie was released by the Brewers on Tuesday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

The Brewers took a chance on Lawrie over the offseason, signing him to a minor-league deal despite the fact that he hadn't appeared in a game at any level since 2016. He never made it into a game this season either, spending his time working out at the team's spring training facility before the Brewers elected to cut bait.
