6 players that played for the Brewers this season that you probably forgot about

The 2023 season is winding down and the Milwaukee Brewers find themselves in fantastic shape. The race in the National League Central looked like a pillow fight to the death for a while, but the Brewers have managed to separate themselves from the field. With a comfortable four game lead going into the final weeks of the season despite losing to the Marlins last night, it is time for some reflection on how the Brewers have gotten to this point.

The Brewers have had some stalwart contributors during the 2023 season. Christian Yelich, William Contreras, Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, Devin Williams, and many others have been regular faces in Brewers' box scores this season. However, who are the guys that only had brief appearances with Milwaukee this season?

Here are 6 players that played for the Brewers this season that you probably forgot about

Most teams these days have to make roster moves just to make a specific stretch of games or even a specific game work. An everyday guy can get banged up or get sick, the bullpen can need a fresh arm just for a day or two, the team may have a doubleheader, other options for call-ups may be unavailable for whatever reason....the list goes on and on. It is always fascinating to look back and see the handful of guys each team plays for just a handful of games and try to remember what caused them to be played in the first place.

Let's take a look at some (but not all) of the players that played for the Brewers in 2023, albeit briefly, that you may have forgotten about.

Jon Singleton

Jon Singleton appeared in the most games of anyone on this list as he played 11 games for the Brewers back in June. Singleton was formerly a top prospect for the Astros way back when and he finally got back to the majors for the first time since 2015 with Milwaukee. The Brewers needed some offense and Singleton had played well enough at Triple-A, so it was worth a shot.

Sadly, things did not work as Singleton slashed .103/.188/.138 in his 32 plate appearances with the team. He would ultimately leave the organization altogether in June and rejoin the Astros where he has been subpar (although better than his time with Milwaukee) in 21 games for Houston.

Jahmai Jones

Next up is Jahmai Jones who has 7 games worth of cameo appearances with the Brewers in 2023. Jones actually had two different short stints with Milwaukee in July after the Brewers signed him to a deal once he opted out of a minor league contract with the Dodgers. Jones' first stint was to fill the roster spot left by Brian Anderson when he went out on paternity leave and came back once Anderson hurt his back not long after that.

Unfortunately, Jones' time with the Brewers wasn't all that memorable as he put up a .200/273/.300 line in 11 plate appearances. Certainly not the worst showing for a guy that was just supposed to be a warm body, but also not good enough to stick around. His numbers at Triple-A in 2023 have been decidedly better as he has put up an .889 OPS this season.

Abraham Toro

This is a funny one as Abraham Toro has played nine games with the Brewers across three different stints with the team this season. Toro is kind of the perfect guy to have in an organization as he can play a bunch of different positions, is a switch hitter, and is generally a pretty highly regarded hitter. Just this season, Toro has played third, first, and DH for the Brewers and has 17 games at second base at Triple-A this season as well.

It is actually surprising that the Brewers couldn't find a way to get Toro some more big league playing time because he was awesome when he was up and pretty good in Triple-A. In 21 plate appearances with the Brewers in 2023, Toro posted a 1.302 OPS with a couple homers and nine RBI in that short span. Hopefully he gets another chance.
