Biloxi Shuckers Roster Moves 8/7

The Biloxi Shuckers, Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, announced a pair of roster moves on Wednesday prior to their contest against the Tennessee Smokies. Catcher Robie Rojas has been transferred to Biloxi from the Rocky Mountain Vibes roster, while catcher Skyler Ewing has been placed on the injured list.
Rojas returns to Biloxi where he spent most of the season. In seven games with the Shuckers in 2019, the 24-year-old hit .250 with two doubles and an RBI. Behind the plate, Rojas commanded the Shuckers staff to a 4-1 record with a 3.27 ERA over 44.0 innings in five starts. Taken in the 38th round of the 2017 First Year Player Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers, Rojas has a career .290 batting average over three seasons in the Minor Leagues.
Ewing lands on the injured list retroactive to August 5 after appearing in ten games with the Shuckers. The 26-year-old hit .130 with two doubles and three RBI with Biloxi and registered a 3-3 record behind the plate while captaining the Shuckers staff to a 3.35 ERA in 51.0 innings. Ewing also played in five games with Triple-A San Antonio this season after being signed by the Brewers as a minor league free agent in January. The Shuckers roster currently sits at 25 active players with two players on the injured list and Brent Suter with Biloxi on Major League rehab.  
The Biloxi Shuckers begin a five-game series against the Tennessee Smokies on Wednesday night at 6:00 pm CT at Smokies Stadium.
