Strange-Gordon had time with the Brewers earlier in the season, but he was released on Saturday. After Nico Hoerner sustained a hamstring injury on Tuesday, he'll find a new minor-league opportunity a few days later. The Cubs are expected to call up their young shortstop soon after that. In his only game with the Brewers this year, Gordon hit an home run and scored a run while playing good defense at short. He was then sent back to the minors before being traded to the Dodgers. The Brewers' decision not to bring him back this season is likely due to their strong position in the division. They're expected to spend their resources on other areas of need this offseason, like third base. And with Daniel Murphy expected to be moved before Thursday's trade deadline, there isn't much hope for Gordon to get another chance with the team next year. He was drafted by Milwaukee out of high school in 2013 and spent three seasons in their system before making it to the big league level this year. During that time, he displayed good speed and contact skills as well as a solid batting eye. However, because there are so many good shortstops in the majors, he wasn't able to win a spot early on in camp or during the season.
