Brewers purchased the contracts of OF Lorenzo Cain and RHP Amaury Rivas.
The moves protect Cain and Rivas from December's Rule 5 draft. Cain, 23, was limited to just 60 games in 2009 due a left knee injury, batting .218/.294/.330 between three levels in the Milwaukee organization, but he showed real promise in 2009. Rivas, who turns 24 in December, was 13-7 with a 2.98 ERA at Class A Brevard County in 2009, earning the organization's pitcher of the year award. |
