BILOXI, MS - The Milwaukee Brewers announced the following roster moves on Wednesday, prior to the series opener against the Braves at 7:00 pm. INF Gabriel Noriega has been transferred back to Biloxi from AAA Colorado Springs and OF Michael Choice has been placed on the temporary inactive list.
Noriega, 26, begins his third stint this season with the Shuckers on Wednesday after playing in two games with Triple-A Colorado Springs this past week. In 15 games for the Shuckers, Noriega is batting .214 with one home run and four RBI. In 35 games for the Triple-A SkySox, he's batted .286 with six RBI.

Noriega began the season in Triple-A, and was transferred to Biloxi for the first time on May 11, then again on June 26. The Maturin, VZ native homered in his last Biloxi game on July 13 at MGM Park during a 4-1 loss to Birmingham.
Choice, 27, has been placed on the temporary inactive list. After being signed by the Brewers on May 5, Choice batted .272 for the Shuckers over 48 games with nine home runs, 13 doubles, and 29 RBI. Choice became the second Biloxi Shucker to hit three home runs in a game on July 10 at Jacksonville and added another long ball the next night. Choice belted five home runs over an eight-game stretch from July 10 to July 17.
The Arlington, TX native began the 2017 season with Triple-A Norfolk and after 10 games was released by the Orioles. A first round pick by the Oakland Athletics (10^th overall), Choice was traded to the Texas Rangers in 2013 after making his major league debut that season in Oakland. Choice hit nine home runs the following season as a rookie with the Rangers.
