Brewers Boost Roster with Naylor and Romero | MLB News

0:00It's September 1st, from first pitch to the final out. This is MLB News. Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. The Milwaukee Brewers made some Rostamus yesterday, bringing up Catcher Bow Naylor from their AAA team in Nashville. They also activated Reliever Jojo Romero, who was on the injured list after an appendectomy. This comes as Major League Baseball expanded active rostres from 26 to 28 players. Naylor and Romero were both acquired by the Brewers at the trade deadline. Naylor was traded from Cleveland, and Romero came over in a deal with St. Louis. Having Naylor on board gives Milwaukee three catchers, alongside William Contreras and Gary Sanchez, which could allow them to use Sanchez more as a designated hitter. Manager Pat Murphy mentioned that Naylor also adds a left-handed bat to their lineup, and brings valuable Major League experience. He seems eager to learn the team's pitchers, which is always a good sign for a new player. Naylor himself has had some offensive struggles recently,

He's had a solid season so far, with a decent earned run average in his appearances. His return from the injured list is a boost to their bullpen depth as they head into the final stretch of the season. These moves are all about strengthening the team as they lead their division. Adding players like Naylor and Romero, especially with the expanded roster, gives them more options and flexibility to navigate the rest of the season, and make a deep playoff run.
