Brewers' William Contreras: Smacks 21st home run
Contreras went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Rockies.
Contreras took Ty Blach deep for a two-run homer in the third inning and set a new career high for homers in a season after he hit 20 in 2022 with Atlanta. Contreras' multi-hit effort broke him out of a 0-for-19 slump over his last six games. The 26-year-old catcher has found his power stroke as of late with 10 home runs since the beginning of August, including four in his last 10 starts.

Aramis Garcia C | PHI
Phillies' Aramis Garcia: Joining big-league club
The Phillies selected Garcia's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
J.T. Realmuto suffered a knee injury Friday against the Marlins and Garcia will come up to provide depth behind the plate.

That said, Garcia hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2022 and is slashing .161/.215/.282 with Lehigh Valley this season.
