PHOENIX - The Milwaukee Brewers made it official on Monday, Feb. 24 – and signed former Brewers infielder Mark Canha to a minor league deal with an invite to major league camp.
Canha back to Milwaukee
What we know:
The move announced Monday continues the two-time defending NL Central champions’ attempts to boost their depth after outfielder Blake Perkins fractured his right shin during batting practice, an injury that likely will sideline him for the first month of the season. Milwaukee already had signed Manuel Margot to a minor league deal with an invitation to big league camp.
By the numbers:
Canha, 36, previously joined the Brewers at the 2023 trade deadline. He batted .287 with a .373 on-base percentage, five homers, 33 RBIs and four steals in 50 games with Milwaukee that season.
