ARLINGTON — The Houston Astros traded infielder Braden Shewmake to the Milwaukee Brewers for cash considerations, the teams announced Sunday.
Shewmake was designated for assignment by the Astros on Friday in a corresponding move for shortstop Jeremy Peña being reinstated from the injured list.
A first-round draft pick out of Texas A&M by Atlanta in 2019, Shewmake has logged 61 total games in the majors. Houston traded minor-league pitcher Wilmy Sanchez to the Yankees to acquire him.
