Franklin's contract was selected from Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin started off the year in Double-A in order to get work as a catcher, but with Stephen Vogt (shoulder) experiencing a setback in his most recent rehab stint, the Brewers will add Franklin to the active roster for more catching depth. The 27-year-old played every position beside pitcher and center field with the Shuckers, so he seems to be in line for super utility duty off the Brewers' bench.
