New Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge — acquired from the San Diego Padres July 31 for pitcher Nestor Cortes — doesn’t have elite offensive numbers in his limited time with the big-league club, but he can play strong defense and run the bases.

He was on the Padres’ Class AAA roster at the time of the trade and will likely be optioned to Nashville by the Brewers. 

Lockridge will be arbitration-eligible in 2028 and a free agent in 2031. He still has rookie status this season.

He’ll have to be added to the 40-man roster, which will require a move since Cortes was on the 60-day injured list and not counting against the 40-man.
