The Brewers traded minor league first baseman Wes Clarke to the Astros, according to Francys Romero, with no roster spot implications as he was not on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster. Clarke, a 10th-round draftee in 2021, has transitioned from catcher to first base/designated hitter, showing power in the past, including 26 home runs in Double-A. However, his stock has declined due to high strikeout rates, with a .216/.352/.358 slash line and 30.2% strikeout rate in Triple-A this year, leading to questions about his future potential.
