LOS ANGELES — The Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> acquired Jonathan Ornelas<\/a> from the Athletics<\/a> on Saturday in an effort to help their struggling infield.<\/p>\n

Ornelas, 26, was in the lineup for the Brewers’ game against the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> on Saturday night, starting at second base and hitting ninth after Milwaukee acquired him for cash considerations.<\/p>\n

Ornelas has played 38 career games for the Texas Rangers<\/a>, Atlanta Braves<\/a> and Athletics, hitting .200 with two doubles and three RBIs. He made six appearances for the Athletics this season, posting a .167 average in 13 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

Brewers infielder Brice Turang<\/a> is dealing with a left knee injury, but manager Pat Murphy does not believe it will require a stint on the injured list. Milwaukee has lost four of five on a Southern California road trip.<\/p>\n

Infielder Jihwan Bae<\/a> was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.<\/p>\n
