Severino's contract will pay him $1.95 million if he is in the majors and include up to $550k in performance bonuses.

Pedro Severino was designated for assignment by the Brewers Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Severino only appeared in 21 games for the Brewers this season. He registered a .222 batting average and one RBI in 18 at-bats during his short stint in Milwaukee.

Pedro Severino went 1-for-3 Monday, doubling and driving in one run in the Brewers' 5-2 win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Severino was able to take advantage of a mistake Monday, as his return further complicates the Milwaukee catching situation. The 28-year-old will work himself back into a more consistent role going forward.

Pedro Severino has been reinstated from the restricted list on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Severino was suspended for 80 games earlier in the season due to violating the MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy and will return to the team after completing a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville. He should slot in as a tertiary option for the Brewers at the catcher position since Victor Caratini is currently playing backup to starter Omar Narvaez. Last season he hit a decent .248/.308/.383 with 11 home runs and 46 RBI across 113 games but is not currently on the fantasy radar.

MLB suspended Pedro Severino for 80 games for testing positive for clomiphene.

Fantasy Impact

The 28-year-old catcher was in line to be Omar Narvaez's backup for Milwaukee. In his seven-year career, he has tallied 33 home runs and a slash line of .235/.305/.372.
