Tyler Black has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. The 24-year-old is one of the better hitting prospects in the Brewers system. However, he'll head back to the minors for more work after a rough showing during spring training. Black played in 18 games with the Brewers last season, but he didn't do much at the plate. The expectation is that Black will get another chance at the big league level at some point in 2025. For now, Black will head to the minors to begin the regular season.

Tyler Black (back) made his spring training debut on Sunday. Black has been sidelined during the early part of camp with a minor back injury. However, seeing him return to action suggests he should not face any restrictions by Opening Day. In his debut, he went 0-for-3 at the plate. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut last summer. Across 18 contests, Black held a .204/.316/.245 slash line two doubles. He showed an elite eye at the plate as he drew walks at a 12.3 percent rate. At Triple-A, the infielder posted a .258/.374/.429 slash line with 14 doubles, 14 home runs, and 20 stolen bases. He held a solid 61:87 BB:K ratio. Fantasy managers should expect Black to continue competing for a depth role in the Milwaukee infield throughout spring training.

Tyler Black (back) was able to hit off a tee earlier on Tuesday. He is hoping to return to participate in spring training contests next week. Black is currently fighting for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut last season. Across a brief 18-game stint, the Wright State University product held a .204/.316/.245 slash line with two doubles and a 7:17 BB:K ratio. He swiped three bags. Through 102 contests at Triple-A last season, Black posted a solid .258/.374/.429 line with 14 doubles and 14 home runs. He swiped 20 bags and held an impressive 61:87 BB:K ratio. When healthy, Black will compete for a depth role in the infield alongside
Oliver Dunn,
Jake Bauers, and
Andruw Monasterio.

Tyler Black (back) is dealing with back stiffness and has yet to make his Cactus League debut. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but should be viewed as day-to-day for the time being. Last season, the 24-year-old made his MLB debut. Across 16 contests, Black held a .204/.316/.245 line with two doubles and three stolen bases. He showed a strong eye at the plate as he drew walks at an elite 12.3 percent rate but generated a low .191 xBA. However, across 102 contests at Triple-A Nashville, Black posted a strong .258/.374/.429 line with 14 doubles, 14 home runs, and 20 stolen bases. This was similar to the .273/.411/.513 line he held across 84 games at Double-A in 2023. When Black returns to action, he will likely compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster but is expected to open the season with Triple-A.
