Date:

Jeff Bianchi (hip) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Huntsville.

Bianchi missed most of the Cactus League scheduled due to the injury. The 26-year-old is out of options, so the Brewers will have to add him to the major league roster or expose him to waivers at the end of his rehab assignment.
Apr 12 - 5:07 PM

‪Brewers placed INF Jeff Bianchi on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with left hip bursitis.

The injury has limited Bianchi to just seven games this spring. He's out of options, so the Brewers will either have to add him to the major league roster or expose him to waivers once he's back to full health.
Mar 27 - 1:09 PM

Jeff Bianchi will not play for Italy in the World Baseball Classic due to a left groin strain.

The issue cropped up on Saturday. Bianchi was set to be Italy's starting shortstop, so it's a disappointing blow, but he's going to focus on getting daily treatment in camp.
Mar 5 - 11:22 AM

Jeff Bianchi blasted a three-run homer, the first of his MLB career, powering the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs in Chicago on Tuesday.

Bianchi finished the night 1-for-3 with the critical blast off Travis Wood in the third inning. The 25-year-old infielder isn't considered a top prospect and shouldn't be owned in most fantasy leagues. He's hitting .227 with a homer and four RBI through his first 22 at-bats.

Brewers recalled INF Jeff Bianchi from Triple-A Nashville.

Bianchi will provide infield depth as a utility infielder, and isn't considered a highly-rated prospect. Mike McClendon was optioned in a corresponding move.

Jeff Bianchi won't be eligible to join the Brewers' active roster until Saturday.

Bianchi hadn't spent the required 10 days in the minor leagues following his August 15 demotion, so he'll be in idle mode over the next handful of games. The 25-year-old infielder is 0-for-13 this season in the majors.

Brewers recalled INF Jeff Bianchi from Triple-A Nashville.

He'll take the roster spot of Randy Wolf, who was given his release Wednesday. Bianchi is 0-for-13 in eight games with the Brewers this season and will serve as a utility infielder. The 25-year-old is unlikely to have much fantasy value.

Brewers optioned INF Jeff Bianchi to Triple-A Nashville.

Bianchi was with the club for a couple days when Mark Rogers was away on paternity leave. The 26-year-old is 0-for-13 in eight games with the Brewers this season and should return when rosters expand in September.

Brewers purchased the contract of INF Jeff Bianchi from Triple-A Nashville.

He's taking the roster spot of Taylor Green, who was sent down Sunday. Bianchi, who will be making his major league debut when he gets into a game, has batted .319/.372/.378 with a homer and 12 steals between Double- and Triple-A this season. He'll back up at shortstop and second base.

Brewers sent SS Jeff Bianchi outright to Double-A Huntsville.

Bianchi batted .259/.320/.333 over 499 plate appearances at Double-A in the Royals organization in 2011 after missing all of 2010 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 25-year-old is, at best, a bench bat down the line.

Brewers claimed INF Jeff Bianchi off waivers from the Cubs.

It should clear a spot for left-hander Paul Maholm on the Cubs' 40-man roster.

The 2005 second-round pick missed the entire 2010 season following Tommy John surgery.
