Brewers who won’t be back: Mike Brosseau

I’m not sure what exactly the future holds for infielder Mike Brosseau, but it doesn’t look promising right now. The 29-year-old is listed no higher than third at any position on Milwaukee’s official depth chart, and is slashing just .226/.273/.452 in 25 games played.

Brosseau doesn’t get on base enough to warrant consistent playing time. Give Craig Counsell credit for trying to get Brosseau going, playing him essentially every third day. At his best, Brosseau can play multiple positions and be an asset at the plate. At his worst, he can’t stay healthy and is a liability.

That’s the version of Brosseau the Brewers have received so far this season. With the Tampa Bay Rays just two seasons ago, Brosseau struggled to reach the Mendoza line. Then, in 2022, he had a resurgence with the Brewers. Milwaukee always gets the best out of rejects from elsewhere. Unfortunately for Brosseau, he hasn’t followed that up with a successful 2023 campaign.

Luke Voit is expected to come off the injured list in due time, and if Brosseau hasn’t improved dramatically, he could be a DFA candidate.
