Martin Maldonado has regressed at the plate in 2013, slashing .184/.253/.303 over 83 plate appearances.

In his first real exposure to Major League pitching, Maldonado batted .266/.321/.408 in 256 plate appearances last season. Perhaps he's toting his struggles onto the field with his catcher's gear. Maldonado has been a run worse than average defensively this year, according to Baseball Reference. May 24 - 2:12 AM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI, leading the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Pirates on Sunday.

Maldonado has done a very nice job in his first real exposure to Major League pitching, hitting .285 with five homers and 18 RBI in 40 games. It will be interesting to see if he remains on the roster as the backup catcher when Jonathan LuCroy returns from the DL in a couple of weeks.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado blasted a two-run home run in the ninth inning, breaking a tie and leading the Brewers to a 5-3 victory over the Twins.

Maldonado finished the game 2-for-4 with the crucial home run off Matt Capps. He's provided very solid and unexpected power production since being recalled from Triple-A, hitting .262 with four homers and 12 RBI in just 42 at-bats. While he won't continue at this unsustainable pace, he makes for a very intriguing option in deep two catcher leagues.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado hit a three-run homer in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

Maldonado's sixth-inning blast off of Anthony Bass was his only hit in four trips to the plate, though he's now gone deep three times in just 34 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville. Seeing more playing time than a banged up George Kottaras (hamstring) in the absence of Jonathan Lucroy, Maldonado is worth a look in NL-only leagues.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers recalled C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville.

As expected, Maldonado will take Jonathan Lucroy's place on the active roster. The 25-year-old backstop was hitting .198/.270/.347 over 138 plate appearances with Triple-A Nashville this season and has a .236/.313/.333 batting line over parts of nine seasons in the minors. He'll function as a backup to George Kottaras while Lucroy is on the shelf.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

The Brewers will recall C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

He'll replace the injured Jonathan Lucroy (hand) on the active roster. Known more for his defense behind the plate, the 25-year-old owns a .236/.313/.333 batting line over parts of nine seasons in the minors. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers optioned C Martin Maldonado to Triple-A Nashville.

No surprise here. The Brewers will start Jonathan Lucroy behind the plate with George Kottaras backing him up.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers recalled C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville.

Maldonado, 24, is coming off a month where he hit .351 with eight homers and 20 RBI over just 77 at-bats. Of course, that was in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League and he is a .238 career hitter in the minors, so we would temper expectations. He will serve as a third catcher behind Jonathan Lucroy and George Kotteras down the stretch.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

The Brewers will recall catching prospect Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville Thursday.

Maldonado has had a solid year at the plate, batting .289/.376/.440 with 11 homers over 339 at-bats between Double- and Triple-A. He'll function as the third catcher behind Jonathan Lucroy and George Kotteras.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers optioned C Martin Maldonado to Triple-A Nashville; RHP Wily Peralta to Double-A Huntsville.

No surprises here. Maldonado, 24, hit .239/.310/.374 with nine homers and 41 RBI between Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A last season. He is a strong defender.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Maldonado, 24, batted .239/.310/.374 with nine home runs and 41 RBI between High-A Brevard County, Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville this season. He is known more for his ability behind the plate.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Jonathan Lucroy
	2	Martin Maldonado
1B	1	Corey Hart D.L. Corey Hart (knee) ran on the field and took full batting practice on Monday. It's the first time he's done so since undergoing knee surgery. Hart admitted that the running was "awkward," but he could be ready for a rehab assignment in about a week. The assignment is expected to take a while, so it will likely be well into June before Hart is activated. May 20
	2	Yuniesky Betancourt
	3	Mat Gamel D.L. Brewers placed 1B Mat Gamel on the 60-day disabled list with a knee injury. It's a procedural move, as Gamel required surgery in early March to repair a torn right ACL and is expected to miss the entire 2013 season. The Brewers now have an opening on their 40-man roster. Mar 20
2B	1	Rickie Weeks
	2	Jeff Bianchi
SS	1	Jean Segura
3B	1	Aramis Ramirez
	2	Alex Gonzalez
	3	Taylor Green D.L. Brewers transferred INF Taylor Green from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. It's a move made in order to clear 40-man roster space for Francisco Rodriguez. Green is out for the season after undergoing hip surgery last month. May 15
LF	1	Ryan Braun
CF	1	Carlos Gomez
	2	Logan Schafer
RF	1	Norichika Aoki
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Yovani Gallardo
	2	Kyle Lohse Sidelined Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Wednesday that Kyle Lohse began feeling discomfort in his right elbow "two or three starts ago" and was recovering slower than usual between starts. As a result, the Brewers have scratched him from his next scheduled start on Saturday. The Brewers are hopeful that it's not a major issue, but this isn't what you want to hear from someone who is in the first year of a three-year, $33 million contract. May 22
	3	Marco Estrada
	4	Wily Peralta
	5	Hiram Burgos D.L. Brewers placed RHP Hiram Burgos on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 22, with a right shoulder impingement. The move clears a spot for Tom Gorzelanny's return from the disabled list. The severity of Burgos' injury isn't yet clear and the Brewers haven't announced who will start in his place Tuesday. The rookie right-hander has a 6.44 ERA and 18/11 K/BB ratio in 29 1/3 innings over six starts this season. May 24
	6	Chris Narveson D.L. Chris Narveson (finger) will be stretched out as a starter when he begins a rehab assignment next week. The Brewers were using Narveson in relief before he suffered a sprained middle finger in early April, but injuries could provide him with an opportunity in the starting rotation. It's not clear how many starts he'll make in the minors before being activated. May 24
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jim Henderson Sidelined Jim Henderson is dealing with a right hamstring injury. No word yet on the extent of the injury, or how much time he could be sidelined, but Henderson didn't sound very encouraged when talking with reporters after the game. He said that the injury occurred while attempting to field a ground ball off the bat of Russell Martin. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that if Henderson were to miss time, he would employ a closer-by-committee including Francisco Rodriguez, John Axford and Michael Gonzalez. May 24
	2	John Axford
	3	Francisco Rodriguez
	4	Burke Badenhop
	5	Mike Gonzalez
	6	Brandon Kintzler
	7	Tom Gorzelanny
	8	Mark Rogers D.L. Mark Rogers (shoulder) has been pulled from his minor league rehab assignment. Rogers had a rough 11.12 ERA and 1/8 K/BB ratio in 5 2/3 innings with Double-A Huntsville and left his most recent appearance on Tuesday due to tingling in his right arm. The 27-year-old has a long injury history and began the season on the disabled list with what was termed as right shoulder instability. He has been sent back to Phoenix for further testing, after which we should know more about the next step. May 9
	9	Alfredo Figaro
