Lutz was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with an unspecified injury Friday. The Brewers didn't announce what injury Lutz is dealing with, and it's not yet clear whether he could spend more than the minimum of seven days on the shelf. The 22-year-old has appeared in 45 games for Double-A Biloxi to begin the year, and he's slashed .208/.284/.399 with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 22 runs and two stolen bases.

The Brewers announced Wednesday that Lutz will attend big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. The 22-year-old is among a handful of the Brewers' more advanced prospects who will get the opportunity to showcase his skills at big-league camp before likely being reassigned to the minors shortly before Opening Day. Before the 2020 minor-league season was cancelled, Lutz most recently saw action at High-A Carolina, submitting a .255/.335/.419 slash line over 477 plate appearances in 2019.

The 21-year-old doesn't figure to factor significantly into the big-league picture during the shortened 2020 season after spending the 2019 campaign with High-A Carolina, hitting .255/.335/.419 across 477 plate appearances.
