Joins big club The Padres selected Rengifo's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

Impact With Samad Taylor (oblique) moving to the injured list Wednesday, the Padres will turn to Rengifo to bolster the club's infield depth. The 29-year-old was DFA'd by Milwaukee in June after slashing just .205/.280/.254 across 209 plate appearances, but he's gone 8-for-25 with two homers, seven RBI and five runs scored in six games since signing a minor-league deal with San Diego.

Gets MiLB deal from Padres The Padres signed Rengifo to a minor-league contract Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rengifo was officially released by the Brewers earlier this week after slashing only .205/.280/.254 slash line with no home runs across 57 contests. The utility player is hitting just .229/.285/.313 in the majors since the beginning of the 2025 season, but he offers plenty of versatility and could get another chance with the big club sooner rather than later.

Brewers release third baseman Luis Rengifo after designating him for assignment

Luis Rengifo has been released by the Milwaukee Brewers after opening the season as their primary third baseman

JUNE 23 • Associated Press

Parts ways with Brewers The Brewers released Rengifo on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The veteran infielder was designated for assignment last week and will now hit the open market. Rengifo joined Milwaukee on a one-year, $3.5 million contract during the offseason but struggled to a .205/.280/.254 slash line with no homers, three steals, 19 RBI and 19 runs in 57 games.

Brewers shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt called up ahead of series with Guardians

Cooper Pratt has reached the major leagues 2 ½ months after the Milwaukee Brewers signed the shortstop prospect to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract

JUNE 16 • Associated Press

Officially DFA'd The Brewers designated Rengifo for assignment Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The move is hardly a surprise with the recent news that prospect Cooper Pratt was being promoted to the big-league roster. Rengifo inked a one-year, $3.5 million contract with Milwaukee in February, but he never got his bat on track with a .205/.280/.254 slash line in 209 plate appearances while also struggling defensively.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be DFA'd The Brewers will designate Rengifo for assignment prior to Tuesday's contest against the Guardians, Pat Ragazzo of Athlon Sports reports.

Impact The Brewers need to free up a roster spot for Cooper Pratt, who will be called up for his major-league debut. Rengifo is slashing only .205/.280/.254 with zero home runs this season, and he's started just one of the last four games. With Pratt on the way and David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz also on the roster, Rengifo's playing time was likely to drop further. Rengifo is a safe bet to clear waivers and become a free agent, and if that happens the Brewers will be responsible of what remains of his $3.5 million salary.

Losing out on starts vs. RHPs Rengifo will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Though he'll be part of the starting nine Sunday while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez toes the rubber for Philadelphia, Rengifo had been held out of the lineup for each of the previous three games, when Milwaukee faced three right-handed starters or bulk relievers. Rengifo has gone just 4-for-24 (.167 average) at the plate over his last nine games and appears to have faded into a utility role with Joey Ortiz regaining favor on the left side of the Milwaukee infield.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Resting up Wednesday Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Rengifo will move to the bench to begin Wednesday's series finale after going 1-for-7 with two walks, a run and four strikeouts across the first two games. David Hamilton will shift to third base as a result, giving Joey Ortiz a start at shortstop.
