Nottingham was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Nottingham didn't appear in any games for the Brewers to start the year while serving as the team's third catcher. He'll get to continue developing at the team's alternate training site to make room for infielders Ryon Healy and Mark Mathias on the 30-man roster.

Nottingham was recalled by the Brewers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nottingham spent the first few days of the season working out at the Brewers' alternate training site. He'll be replacing reliever Bobby Wahl on the active roster, who was optioned in a corresponding move. He'll line up as Milwaukee's third catcher and won't have a clear path to playing time.

Nottingham was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Offseason trade acquisition Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina are locked in as Milwaukee's top two catchers and are currently healthy, so it's no surprise Nottingham will join San Antonio when play resumes. The 24-year-old appeared in nine big-league games in 2019 but spent most of the season at Triple-A and had a .231/.313/.355 slash line with five homers in 83 games.

Nottingham will likely open the season in the minors, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Offseason acquisition Omar Narvaez and long-time Brewer Manny Pina are locked in as the club's top two catchers, so there simply is not room on the 26-man roster for Nottingham when both of his fellow backstops are healthy. Nottingham did earn praise for his receiving work this spring from manager Craig Counsell, which at least bodes well for his chances should the Brewers need a fill-in for Narvaez or Pina at any point.

Nottingham will get an X-ray on his right hand, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nottingham was hit in the hand by a pitch in the ninth inning Sunday and is set to undergo testing at the hospital. Results of the exam likely won't come back until Monday. Entering his age-25 season, Nottingham is battling for a role as backup catcher for the big-league club, though he will likely begin the season at Triple-A San Antonio.

Nottingham was recalled from Triple-A San Antonio on Friday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers now have four catchers on the active roster, so Nottingham probably won't play very much over the final month of the season. He hit .231/.313/.355 with five home runs and a 95:28 K:BB in 332 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Nottingham was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Nottingham joined the Brewers in mid-May when Manny Pina (hamstring) landed on the injured list, but he'll return to Triple-A with Pina now healthy. Nottingham did not receive a start during his brief major-league stint but went 2-for-5 off the bench with his first career home run and four RBI.

Nottingham went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 12-8 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
He started the game on the bench, but after Milwaukee fell behind 12-0, Nottingham checked into the game for Yasmani Grandal and helped fuel a late rally with his first career homer in the majors, a two-run shot off Josh Tomlin in the eighth inning. Nottingham is expected to see limited action behind Grandal while Manny Pina (hamstring) is on the shelf, but this performance might encourage the Brewers to give the 24-year-old an extra start or two.
