The Brewers signed Jacob Hurtubise<\/a> to a minor league deal earlier this week, according to the outfielder\u2019s MLB.com profile page<\/a>.\u00a0 Hurtubise has been assigned to Triple-A Nashville, and his contract doesn\u2019t appear to include an invitation to the Brew Crew\u2019s big league spring camp.<\/p>\n

An undrafted free agent who started his pro career by signing with the Reds in 2020, Hurtubise has appeared in 41 MLB games, all with Cincinnati over the last two seasons.\u00a0 The Reds designated Hurtubise for assignment in June, starting a whirl of transactions that saw the outfielder claimed by the Mariners, outrighted and released in July, and then Hurtubise joined the Astros on a minor league deal before being released again in September.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Hurtubise will now look to return to the Show on another NL Central team.\u00a0 Even after trading Isaac Collins<\/a> to the Royals earlier this winter, the Brewers still have a decent amount of outfield depth beyond starters Jackson Chourio<\/a>, Garrett Mitchell<\/a>, and Sal Frelick<\/a>.\u00a0 Hurtubise joins Akil Baddoo<\/a>, Brandon Lockridge<\/a>, and Greg Jones<\/a> as outfielders providing depth behind fourth outfielder Blake Perkins<\/a>.\u00a0 Though Hurtubise has a minor league option remaining, being an outfield-only player might hamper his roster chances since the Brewers tend to favor more versatile players for their bench.<\/p>\n

Hurtubise does have plenty of experience at all three outfield positions, plus his strong speed and baserunning ability makes him a pinch-running candidate.\u00a0 Hurtubise has stolen 130 bases in 153 attempts over his minor league career, while hitting .260\/.411\/.324 over 576 plate appearances at the Triple-A level.\u00a0 This on-base ability hasn\u2019t manifested itself over the small sample size of Hurtubise\u2019s time in the majors, as he has hit just .167\/.291\/.212 over 83 PA for the Reds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brewers signed Jacob Hurtubise to a minor league deal earlier this week, according to the outfielder\u2019s MLB.com…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2290],"tags":[5,7655],"class_list":["post-560907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-baseball","tag-baseball","tag-jacob-hurtubise"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116034094803538438","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560907\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
