Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle hears that the Brewers have made catcher George Kottaras available. Schulman mentioned Kottaras as a potential solution for the Giants, who are on the market for a catcher. The 28-year-old backstop was called up from Triple-A Nashville last week and is batting .290/.324/.516 over 34 plate appearances this season. While Kottaras could be a possibility, Schulman ultimately thinks the Giants may promote 21-year-old prospect Hector Sanchez, who is currently playing with Triple-A Fresno.

George Kottaras hit a two-run homer Thursday in his return to the majors with the Brewers. Kottaras should have been the Brewers' backup catcher all along, but the team opted for Wil Nieves instead after Jonathan Lucroy came off the DL. That mistake has been corrected now.
