Brewers Outright Daz Cameron, Select Anthony Seigler

By Steve Adams | July 6, 2025 at 4:01pm CDT

TODAY: Cameron cleared waivers and was outrighted off Milwaukee’s 40-man roster, according to Cameron’s MLB.com profile page.  It isn’t yet known whether or not Cameron will accept the assignment or head for free agency.

JULY 1: The Brewers announced today that they have selected the contract of infielder/catcher Anthony Seigler. Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reported that move earlier this week. Outfielder Daz Cameron has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Now 26 years old, Seigler was the Yankees’ first-round selection, No. 23 overall, back in 2018. He became a minor league free agent following the 2024 season and in November signed a minor league pact with the Brewers. He’s spent the season so far in Triple-A Nashville, where he’s turned in a strong .277/.416/.465 batting line with seven home runs, 11 doubles, four triples and 20 stolen bases in 23 attempts. Seigler has walked in a colossal 18.4% of his plate appearances against a 19.1% strikeout rate.

Seigler has split his time between second base (203 innings), catcher (201 innings) and third base (94 innings) during his time in Nashville. He’s unlikely to see much time at second base with Brice Turang enjoying a strong season there, and the left side of the infield has improved of late with Joey Ortiz and Caleb Durbin both enjoying productive months in June. Still, Seigler could be an upgrade over Andruw Monasterio on the bench. Monasterio has bounced between the four infield positions but is hitting just .192/.323/.269 this year.

His ability to crouch behind the plate could also be of value to the Brewers. It was reported a couple of months ago that William Contreras has been playing through a finger fracture. His performance on the year is around league average but has been declining. He had a .217/.337/.313 line and 87 wRC+ in the month of June, a far cry from his previous production. Perhaps having Seigler around will allow the Brewers to give Contreras some time off his feet. Eric Haase is also on the roster and is having a decent year at the plate, in a sense. His overall production is around league average but it’s been in a tiny sample of 54 plate appearances and with a big 40.7% strikeout rate.

Seigler’s call to the majors will be his first. He played in parts of six minor league seasons with the Yankees organization and is now midway through his seventh pro season. He has a full slate of options and can be controlled until he reaches six years of big league service time. That means he could be a depth piece for the Brewers for quite a long time, if his performance justifies his continued presence on the roster.

Cameron, 28, was added to Milwaukee’s roster just over two months ago. He has since been serving in a bench outfield role but with a tepid line of .195/.214/.293. He was once a notable prospect and has often performed well in the minors but never in the majors. He now has a .200/.258/.326 line in 472 big league plate appearances dating back to his 2020 debut.

He’s now out of options, so the Brewers have bumped him off the 40-man today. Given his performance, he’s likely to pass through waivers unclaimed. He has previously been outrighted in his career, which gives him the right to reject further outright assignments in favor of electing free agency.

    Ortiz and Turang have barely had any rest, to say nothing of Contreras who has been playing with that broken finger and almost never takes days off. Theyll find innings for Seigler.

      Perfect time to rest as the Brew Crew plays the lightweight teams like the Mets and Dodgers in the next 10 days. Need to get the body ready for the 5 day All Star break. So use the load management method the NBA developed and uses to perfection. Let’s move the better players to the bench and put in Siegler because he’s a walk machine. Sad thing is it will probably work for Murphy as he is the master motivational manager.

      Doubt seigler will get much playing time, he’ll get as much playing time as Cameron got. He won’t sniff 2B and won’t at 3B and catcher? Forget about it.

        He’s starting the first game of the doubleheader at 3B today.

    Can’t see how this let’s Contreras rest more, as I doubt Seigler is ahead of Haase on the depth chart at C, because Haase serves no purpose if that was the case and would’ve been the DFA. William wants to be there everyday, and apparently the Brewers are okay with that as his defense is still very good.

      Best guess is Contreras sees an extra few off days, more (highly deserved) starts for Haase, and Seigler is there as an emergency option.

        I think Seigler is being auditioned to see how many backup players he can replace.. If it’s Haase and Monasterio, the Brewers might be willing to call up OF/1B Bobby Dalbec even after Blake Perkins essentially replaces Cameron. It’s worth mentioning that Seigler may not play second base, but Isaac Collins does.. Durbin does as well, so he could replace Turang if Seigler played third. And Turang could back up Ortiz. Still up in the air is Jake Bauers, who is on the trading block.

      Well actually this will allow for Haase a chance to pinch hit more because they won’t have to worry about saving the back up catcher. Then when Perkins comes back you send down Monso. At that time you could also DFA’D Bauers and bring up Dalbec which gives you someone who can cover corner outfield, third , and first. So your bench is now more versatile plus a couple of switch hitters and some power to pinch hit.

        Yeah, it allows Haase to PH more, but my point was its unlikely to result in fewer Contreras starts at C

        I’m not sure that Haase lasts the season if Jeferson Quero keeps making progress in Nashville. Quero is making good contact but hasn’t shown much power yet.

          Gotta agree with you i think that Haase, Quintana, Monso, Zastaney, and Bauers should be traded sooner then later. Makes room for Woodruff, Quero, Perkins and Yoho.

    I’ve been a big fan of Seigler’s this year. Batted ball data looks good, plate approach is really strong. Sure, maybe that falls flat against MLB pitching, but he’s done everything he can to earn that debut.

    Kind of a shame that they never gave Cameron much of a chance since he only played sparingly like every 2 weeks it seemed

      I don’t think Cameron was supposed to be here that long. Woodruff and Mitchell were preparing to come back both reinjured and delay. Perkins too. I dunno if Seiglers time up will be long. As a comment or suggest above, Seigler good give Contreras some days off.
