Brewers acquire Ornelas from Athletics ahead of Dodgers game
Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers have announced the acquisition of infielder/outfielder Jonathan Ornelas from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for cash considerations. This move comes before their match against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the Brewers currently holding a 75-48 record and facing a four-game series against the Dodgers. Although they've struggled recently, losing four of five games on the road, the Brewers are looking to bolster their lineup due to injuries affecting key players like Brice Turang. Ornelas, who has primarily played in the minor leagues, is expected to provide defensive versatility for the team. Utility player Ji Hwan Bae was designated for assignment to make space for Ornelas on the 40-man roster.
