Brewers signed 1B/OF Micah Owings. Owings was granted his release by the Nationals earlier this month after batting .265/.305/.480 with eight home runs and a 71/10 K/BB ratio through 57 games with Triple-A Syracuse. Given the injuries they've had, Milwaukee isn't a bad landing spot for the converted pitcher. He'll report to the team's complex in Arizona first, but should move up to Triple-A before long.
