Brewers' Andruw Monasterio: Called up to big leagues
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Monasterio's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
The 25-year-old will get his first taste of the majors, replacing Willy Adames (concussion) on the active roster, after spending nearly a decade in the minor leagues between four different organizations. Monasterio has displayed a discerning eye at the plate with more walks (32) than strikeouts (29) so far this season, and he can run a little as evidenced by his 11 steals through 42 games. However, it remains to be seen exactly what his role will be with the big club.

Indians' Andruw Monasterio: Remains in Cleveland on minors deal
Rotowire
Monasterio signed a minor-league contract to return to Cleveland on Tuesday.
The contract did not come with an invitation to big-league camp. That's hardly a surprise, as Monasterio has yet to advance beyond Double-A and posted a .217/.279/.253 slash line at that level in 70 games for Akron in 2019.
