The Milwaukee Brewers swung a minor trade on Monday night, sending left-hander Grant Wolfram to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for outfielder Daz Cameron.
The transaction completes a crazy 48 hours for Wolfram, who was recalled from Class AAA Nashville on Sunday, spent the day on the 26-man roster as bullpen depth during the Brewers' 8-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at American Family Field and then designated for assignment on Monday in the wake of the team's trade for right-handed starter Quinn Priester.
It was Wolfram's first and only – to this point – day of major-league service. He was signed by the Brewers in December after six seasons in the Texas Rangers' minor-league system.
And if the last name Cameron rings a bell, it should.
The 28-year-old is the son of former longtime major-league outfielder Mike Cameron, who amassed 6.1 Wins Above Replacement as a centerfielder from the Brewers in the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
Daz, the 37th-overall pick by the Houston Astros in the 2015 draft, hasn't experienced nearly the success his father did, however, accounting for a minus-1.2 WAR in 139 major-league games.
In 66 games with the A's last season, Cameron hit .200 with five home runs and 15 runs batted in to go along with an OPS of .587. He played all three outfield spots but didn't rate out well according to the metrics, accounting for minus-four defensive runs saved.
For his career, Cameron is a .201 hitter with 10 homers, 39 RBI and an OPS of .593 in 139 games.
Cameron, who will report to Nashville, gives Milwaukee a bit more experience in the outfield should the Brewers need to call for reinforcements as Blake Perkins continues to recover from a fractured tibia that's sidelined him since late February.
Of the three other outfielders on the Sounds' roster, only Jared Oliva has any major-league experience (26 games).
