The Milwaukee Brewers expanded their active roster to 28 players on Tuesday by adding catcher Bo Naylor and reliever JoJo Romero. Naylor was recalled from Triple-A Nashville, while Romero returned from the 15-day injured list following an appendectomy. The Brewers acquired both players in separate trade-deadline deals this season. Naylor joins William Contreras and Gary Sánchez to provide the team with a third catcher and an additional left-handed bat. Manager Pat Murphy indicated the move allows the team to utilize Sánchez more frequently as a designated hitter. Romero, who has not appeared in a major league game since July 12, holds a 1-3 record with a 3.35 ERA over 44 appearances this year. The roster moves occurred ahead of the team's matchup against the Chicago Cubs.
