Drew Avans News: Claimed, optioned by Milwaukee

The Brewers claimed Avans off waivers from the Athletics on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Avans was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Friday and has now landed in a new organization. The 28-year-old went 2-for-15 with a stolen base over seven games in the majors this season. Speed is his primary skill, as Avans has stolen as many as 40 bases (during the 2022 season) in the minors.
