Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $887,500 deal on Friday. Saladino is merely a utility infielder for the Brew Crew after hitting .246/.299/.397 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 126 at-bats in 2018. He's not much of a fantasy option, even in NL-only leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday to make room for second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who was acquired from the Orioles on Tuesday. Saladino was hitting .259 with four home runs and 15 RBI on the season for the Brewers, but the team's infield is much too crowded now after the recent acquisitions of Schoop and third baseman Mike Moustakas.
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting the day off Monday. Saladino will bat fifth against Marlins' rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez. Saladino is in a favorable part of the batting order and facing a struggling rookie pitcher, but he does not have much upside in fantasy leagues or DFS contests. Saladino has registered just two hits over his last five games and does not have much power at the plate.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hernan Perez will play shortstop and bat seventh against righty Jose Urena. Saladino had played in four straight games and was currently in a 0-for-6 slump during his last two games. The Brewers decided to give him the night off, but he should be back in the lineup soon. Perez has not been hitting too well lately, and should be avoided in DFS on Monday.
Tyler Saladino Returns, Eric Sogard Designated For Assignment
The Milwaukee Brewers activated Tyler Saladino (ankle) from the 10-day disabled list. In a corresponding move, the team designated second baseman Eric Sogard for assignment. Sogard was having an abysmal season, so the Brewers and fantasy players will be happy to have Saladino back. Before going down with the ankle sprain, Saladino was batting .311 and was having a particularly good month of May (.324 average, .981 OPS). Owners should slot Saladino right back into their lineups in deeper leagues, and daily fantasy players should definitely consider him for that second base slot going forward.
Tyler Saladino to Begin Rehab Assignment on Thursday
Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment in Low-A Wisconsin on Thursday. Saladino has not played since May 29 and will likely need to get his legs back under him before returning to Milwaukee. He is reportedly set to appear in three rehab games but it is unclear exactly when he will be called back up. Nevertheless, it should be sometime soon.
Tyler Saladino Still Has A Ways To Go To Return From Ankle Injury
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (ankle) was seen taking light swings, however, has yet to work on fielding drills. Saladino was placed on the 10-day disabled list on May 29 with a sprained ankle and so far, still does not have a timetable in which he will return. However, considering he has yet to continue fielding is a sign that he's not ready to come back just yet. He has been a pleasant surprise for Milwaukee, and will most likely make the 25-man roster upon returning, however, should not be owned in any format currently.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (ankle) will head to the 10-day disabled list for an ankle injury he acquired in Tuesday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. While Saladino did not break any bones, this is most likely just an insurance move to ensure he doesn't injure his ankle any further. Orlando Arcia is the most likely candidate to return to the team when he is officially placed on the disabled list. Saladino should not be owned in any format for the time being.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino exited Tuesday's game with an ankle issue, and it has been revealed that he is dealing with an ankle sprain. While the injury is minor, this is a rough break for Saladino, who was looking to get as many starts in as possible before Orlando Arcia is eventually called back up to the majors. Hernan Perez and possibly Jonathan Villar will help out at shortstop for the time being. Expect Saladino to miss a couple of games, but it looks like he could avoid a trip to the disabled list.
Tyler Saladino Delivers Another Solid Start With Increased Time
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino went 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI in the 17-6 win over the New York Mets. The whole Brewers offense was on absolute fire, however, Saladino delivered another solid game and has had a major impact on the Brewers since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox. With the Brewers, he is now batting .353 with a 1.047 OPS, eight runs, three home runs, and eight RBI. With Orlando Arcia being sent down to Triple-A with the purpose of getting his confidence back up, Saladino will take the majority of starts at shortstop for the time being. He's worth a flier in deep leagues until Arcia is called back up.
