The Los Angeles Dodgers designated a left-handed bat that the Milwaukee Brewers could target to strengthen their lineup.
The Milwaukee Brewers lineup will be without superstar outfielder Christian Yelich for an undisclosed amount of time due to a back injury and may want to target a former Los Angeles Dodger as a temporary replacement.

Biggio is hitting .197 with 10 extra-base hits including five home runs, 19 RBIs and a .622 OPS in 74 games this season between the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays. The 29-year-old has ample experience in the outfield and could come into Milwaukee as a bandage to a roster already feeling the effects of the loss of Yelich, dropping six of the 10 games in that span.
