Brewers fans will never believe who has been carrying the Triple-A offense this week

With a team like the Milwaukee Brewers, who experience a great deal of roster turnover every offseason, which continues throughout the season, it can be difficult to remember every name that passed through or was added to the organization this year.

From Daz Cameron, son of former Brewer Mike Cameron, joining the organization in early April, to outfielders Drew Avans and Steward Berroa making appearances with the big league club when injuries hit throughout the summer, to Bobby Dalbec and Eddie Rosario spending months with the Triple-A squad, to the team technically rostering veteran southpaw Jordan Montgomery, there have been a number of players that fans would have never believed would be a part of the Brewers‘ organization before the season began.

However, perhaps a head above the rest was the return of Luis "Wicho" Urías to the Brewers organization on September 1. After being designated for assignment and subsequently released by the Athletics at the end of August, the Brewers brought back their former infielder on a minor league deal, assigning him to Triple-A where he joins the Nashville Sounds for their final weeks of the season. To say the least, Wicho has been raking since rejoining the Brewers' organization.

Urías has bounced around the league since the Brewers traded him to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Bradley Blalock back at the 2023 trade deadline. He played just 32 total games for the Sox and posted a solid .698 OPS. Boston then traded Wicho to the Seattle Mariners after the 2023 season, and the former Brewers' everyday third baseman logged 41 games for his new squad in 2024. Despite posting a batting average below the Mendoza Line, Urías continued to get on base and hit for a modest amount of power, resulting in a .697 OPS throughout the season.

Then, this past offseason, Urías became a free agent and elected to sign with the Athletics. A really strong start to the season had Athletics fans praising Wicho's talents, but his production cooled off during the second half of the season, ultimately leading to his release in late August. All in all, Wicho holds a .230/.315/.338 slash line in the majors this season, which doesn't appear too bad, but his OPS is actually lower than it was in 2023 and 2024.

However, since rejoining the Brewers' organization at the beginning of the month, Urías has been a different player. Yes, it's against Triple-A pitching, and it's only been a week, but Urías has a 1.133 OPS with four extra-base hits and eight RBI through his first six games with the Nashville Sounds. He has nine total hits in those six games, giving him a .391 average since donning the Sounds' jersey once again.

While Urías is tearing the cover off the ball, it's highly unlikely that he'll be up with the big league club before the end of the regular season and he fore sure won't be on the postseason roster; Since he signed with the organization after September 1, he is ineligible for the playoffs. Even still, seeing Wicho succeed while back in the Brewers' organization is still an exciting development in a season that has been filled with unexpected twists and turns. At just 28 years old, Urías still has some productive years ahead of him, and perhaps those years will be with the Brew Crew, who have seen him at his best.
