Oliver Dunn was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers after clearing waivers following designation for assignment when Jackson Chourio returned from the injured list. This is his first outright and he must accept the assignment because he lacks three years of big league service. Dunn has been with Nashville since mid-April and briefly appeared in the majors early in the season, hitting .167 over 14 games before being optioned. He has produced a mediocre Triple-A season at .201/.304/.326 with seven homers in 407 plate appearances. He will remain in Nashville as infield depth in September and will qualify for minor league free agency if not added to the 40-man roster.
The Brewers sent infielder Oliver Dunn outright to Triple-A Nashville, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Dunn cleared waivers after being designated for assignment when Jackson Chourio returned from the injured list over the weekend. This is his first outright and he doesn't have three years of big league service, so he'll need to accept the assignment. Dunn has been with Nashville since the middle of April.
He got a brief look in an uncertain third base mix in the season's first couple weeks. He hit .167 with a .205 on-base percentage across 14 games before being optioned out. Caleb Durbin came up and seized the third base job as a rookie. The 27-year-old Dunn (28 tomorrow) has had a mediocre season in Triple-A. He's batting .201/.304/.326 with seven homers through 407 plate appearances.
