Brewers' Steward Berroa: Sidelined with shoulder strain
Brewers' Steward Berroa: Sidelined with shoulder strain
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Steward Berroa is active in MLB discussions and minor-league assignments around 2026. Reports in March–April 2026 noted him returning from a right shoulder strain and beginning rehab assignments, with some mentions of being designated for assignment later as teams adjusted rosters [source summaries in March–April 2026 coverage]. This indicates ongoing movement between the majors and minors during that period.
-
In early April 2026, Brewers designated Berroa for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, while he was still on a rehab assignment. This aligns with roster churn common after injuries or rehab stints.
-
By April 7, 2026, Berroa was reportedly traded to or acquired by another organization (Philadelphia Phillies) for cash considerations and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, indicating continued MLB-level interest and a path back to the majors via the minors.
-
Earlier coverage in March 2026 indicated Berroa was cleared for rehab games at Triple-A Nashville after recovering from the shoulder issue, suggesting he was progressing toward a potential major-league return pending health and roster needs.
