Nieuwenhuis was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Wednesday, Jon Morosi of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After the Mets officially added Alejandro de Aza to their 40-man roster, Nieuwenhuis was placed on waivers by the club and subsequently claimed by the Brewers on Wednesday. Nieuwenhuis is still relatively young at 28 but has never had more RBI than strikeouts in any of his four major league seasons. He'll have a chance to provide depth at a corner outfield spot for the Brewers.
