The Brewers optioned Black to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. Black will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to outfielder Blake Perkins (calf), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. After getting recalled from Nashville on Aug. 12, Black started at designated hitter in five of the Brewers' ensuing nine games while going 2-for-15 with three walks against five strikeouts. Now that Black is out of the mix, the Brewers will likely rotate a number of players at DH, with Gary Sanchez, Jake Bauers and Perkins all being candidates to see upticks in opportunities.

Black is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Guardians. Since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Black has gone 1-for-11 over his four major-league appearances. He'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while William Contreras serves as the designated hitter for Sunday's series finale.

Black is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians. Black had started three of the Brewers' previous four games at DH, but he'll yield to William Contreras at the position Saturday while Gary Sanchez catches. Since being called up Monday, Black is 1-for-11 with two runs scored and an RBI.

Black is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers. After starting each of the first four games upon being called up from Triple-A Nashville last Wednesday, Black has now been out of the lineup for three straight contests, with two of them coming against right-handed pitching. Jake Bauers will garner a second straight start at first base.

The Brewers optioned Black to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. After being called up from Nashville last Tuesday, Black got a look in a near-everyday role, starting in five of the Brewers' ensuing seven games. However, the 23-year-old managed just five hits while striking out eight times in 22 at-bats in his first taste of the big leagues, prompting the Brewers to pull the plug on him with Christian Yelich (back) returning from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Black should continue to see regular playing time at Nashville and will likely be one of the top options for a call-up if the Brewers need an extra corner infielder at any point.
