Brewers released INF Bobby Crosby. Crosby was in the running for a couple of wide-open bench jobs this spring in Brewers camp, but he batted just .188/.235/.250 in 17 Grapefruit League plate appearances. The 33-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010.

Bobby Crosby (thigh) will make his Cactus League debut Tuesday at third base. Crosby's comeback attempt has been slowed this spring due to a left thigh strain, but he's finally ready to go. The 33-year-old hasn't played in the majors since 2010 when he batted just .220/.294/.298 with the Pirates and Diamondbacks, so he's unlikely to make a major impact.

Bobby Crosby is idle right now in Brewers camp as he attempts to recover from a left thigh strain. "He still feels it when he tries to run," manager Ron Roenicke said Thursday morning. "We're hoping this doesn't go much longer." Crosby hasn't appeared in a major league game since the 2010 campaign and seems doubtful to make an impact for Milwaukee this season.

Bobby Crosby will get a look at first base this spring. The Brewers are trying to line up options for the position with Corey Hart (knee) out for at least the first month and Mat Gamel (knee) now unavailable for the entire season. Crosby hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2010, when he batted just .220/.294/.298 in 70 games between the Pirates and D'Backs. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues this year no matter what his role is.

Brewers signed INF Bobby Crosby to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Crosby would make $800,000 if he is on the major league roster and could earn an additional $450,000 in incentives. The 33-year-old infielder hasn't played professionally since 2010 when he batted just .220/.294/.298 with one home run in 168 at-bats between the Pirates and Diamondbacks. With such a long layoff, he'll enter spring training as a longshot candidate.

Bobby Crosby plans to work out for teams in January. The 32-year-old infielder is hoping to make a comeback after sitting out the past two seasons. Crosby owns a .236/.304/.372 career batting line in the major leagues.
