Catcher Jonathan Lucroy returns to the Milwaukee Brewers roster Thursday, while George Kottaras has been designated for assignment.
Lucroy has missed nearly two months since breaking his hand in an off-field accident on Memorial Day weekend. He rehabbed with the Class-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers last weekend.
Kottaras had a red-hot start to the season, hitting three home runs in the first week, but has hit none since. He has a .209 batting average with 12 RBI in 58 games tjos season.
The Brewers also optioned infielder Jeff Bianchi to AAA Nashville and called up pitcher Jim Henderson. Henderson, a right-hander, has 15 saves this season as the Sounds' closer. He is a 10-year minor league veteran who has never made it to the majors prior to Thursday.
