The Brewers announced the promotion of infielder Greg Jones from their minor league system on Wednesday. The move comes after shortstop David Hamilton leaving the game early with a hamstring injury.
With Hamilton out, Jones may see playing time while the club checks Hamilton’s recovery. The roster addition gives Milwaukee extra depth at infield as they continue the series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Coaches expect Jones to offer defensive support and a right-hand bat off the bench. He was rated among the top prospects in the Brewers' farm system.
