Raimel Tapia: Hits open market

Tapia elected free agency after clearing waivers Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Tapia spent just over five weeks in the Milwaukee organization and slashed .173/.267/.288 over 20 games with the big club before he was cast off the 40-man roster Saturday when the Brewers called up outfield prospect Sal Frelick from Triple-A Nashville. Rather than reporting to Nashville, the 29-year-old Tapia will now look to catch on elsewhere on a minor-league or major-league deal.
