Brewers' Justin Dirden: Latches on with Milwaukee

Dirden signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Tuesday.

Dirden had a breakout season between the Double- and Triple-A levels in the Astros organization in 2022, putting up a .942 OPS with 24 homers and 12 steals. He fell off to a .710 OPS in 2023, however, and was released earlier this month. The 26-year-old is capable of playing all three outfield spots and should be assigned to Triple-A Nashville.
