Fri Mar 25 2016 | 04:41 | INF Luis Sardinas hit grand slam for Mariners on Wednesday |
INF Luis Sardinas hit a grand slam for the Mariners on Wednesday. He is considered as good a fielder, if not a better, than his competition for a utility spot, Chris Taylor. At this point, it would be surprising if Sardinas, whose 30 hits and 14 RBIs lead the Mariners in spring training, doesn't win the major league job. |

INF Luis Sardinas was acquired by the Mariners from the Brewers in exchange for outfield prospect Ramon Flores.Sardinas, 22, spent the majority of last season with Triple-A Colorado Springs, hitting .282 with one home run and 33 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 103 games. The switch-hitter appeared in 36 games with the Brewers, hitting .196 with four RBIs in two stints. During his major league career, he has appeared defensively at second base, shortstop and third base.Sardinas was acquired by Milwaukee from Texas in the Yovani Gallardo trade on Jan. 19. In parts of two major league seasons with Texas and Milwaukee, he has hit .231 with 12 RBIs in 79 games. |

Sardinas will get his first career start at third base Wednesday. |
An injury to Elian Herrera paved the way for Sardinas to make his first start at third base in the majors. The 22-year-old prospect has mainly been used as a role player since his call up Sept. 7, however the Brewers are high Sardinas and hope that he contend with Jean Segura for the starting shortstop job in the coming years. |
Mon Sep 7 2015 | 20:32 | Sardinas recalled by Brewers on Monday |
Sardinas was recalled by the Brewers on Monday. |
Sardinas has bounced around from the majors and minors over the last two seasons as he's split his time between Milwaukee and Triple-A Colorado Springs this year. His previous outings with the Brewers in 2015 resulted in a lowly batting average of .221 and a dismal slugging percentage of .243 after 71 appearances at the plate. |
Tue Jun 9 2015 | 13:47 | Sardinas optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday |
Sardinas was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. |
Sardinas is being sent down to make room for pitcher Taylor Jungmann, who will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates. Sardinas was having a decent year for Triple-A Colorado Springs, but he owns a .221/.243/.250 slash line through 71 plate appearances with the Brewers. |
Sun Jun 7 2015 | 13:35 | Sardinas out of lineup Sunday against Twins |
Sardinas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins. |
Sardinas appeared to be locked in to a regular role at second base with the Brewers, but that's now cast in some doubt with Hernan Perez starting three of the past four games at the keystone. The 22-year-old is slashing a weak .227/.239/.258 over 68 plate appearances, so it's possible that manager Craig Counsell is just turning to Perez in an effort to extract a little more offensive production from the position. |
Fri Jun 5 2015 | 16:57 | Sardinas out of lineup Friday |
Sardinas is out of the lineup Friday. |
New addition Hernan Perez will get the start at second Friday as Sardinas will start the game on the bench. The slick-fielding Venezuelan does not have the offensive numbers to warrant ownership in most formats. |

Sardinas is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals. |
Sardinas has shifted over to second base following the return of Jean Segura from the disabled list, but he'll receive a day off Wednesday in favor of the newly-acquired Hernan Perez. It seems likely he'll continue as the club's everyday second baseman, but he may receive more days off than the average if he can't start hitting consistently. |
Mon Jun 1 2015 | 12:04 | Sardinas, starting at second base for second time in three days,... |
Sardinas, starting at second base for the second time in three days, went 2-for-8 with a run scored in Sunday's victory over the Diamondbacks. |
Sardinas saw regular playing time at shortstop for a couple weeks while Jean Segura was sidelined, and he showed enough to earn himself playing time at second base after Segura returned to action Friday. The Brewers' plans at second base moving forward aren't entirely certain -- Hector Gomez, Elian Herrera, and Scooter Gennett all remain options to play there -- but it appears Sardinas will at least be part of the mix for the time being. |

Manager Craig Counsell indicated after Tuesday's game that Sardinas will remain with the Brewers when Jean Segura (finger) is activated from the disabled list, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. |
It won't be certain that Sardinas stays with the big club until an official roster move is made later this week, but Counsell said Tuesday that the Brewers will send down a reliever when Segura returns. Sardinas would keep his roster spot in such a scenario, he will still be handing back the starting shortstop duties to Segura when the latter is back on the active roster. |
Sun May 24 2015 | 10:27 | Sardinas will bat leadoff Sunday against Braves |
Sardinas will bat leadoff Sunday against the Braves. |
The move for Sardinas is only temporary, as manager Craig Counsell will drop regular leadoff man Carlos Gomez to the three-spot with Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez getting the day off. The 22-year-old Sardinas is off to a sound start to the season, hitting safely in all but one of his eight games played since being recalled. |
Wed May 20 2015 | 09:52 | Sardinas 2-4 with triple and run scored in Tuesday's victory ove... |
Sardinas went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers. |
Sardinas has done nothing but impress since joining the big club, going 6-for-14 (.429) with four runs scored and just two strikeouts. It appears the Brewers are willing to give him regular playing time at shortstop for the time being, but that will change when Jean Segura (finger) returns to action, likely at some point in the next week or two. |
Sat May 16 2015 | 15:33 | Sardinas in lineup for Saturday's game against Mets |
Sardinas is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets. |
Sardinas, who was brought up to take the roster spot of Jean Segura (finger) earlier this week, will make his first start with the Brewers on Saturday. He will play shortstop and bat ninth against Mets starter Jacob deGrom. |
Thu May 14 2015 | 12:25 | Sardinas recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday |
Sardinas was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday. |
Sardinas was called up to take the roster spot of Jean Segura (finger), who was placed on the disabled list. In 32 games with Colorado Springs this season, Sardinas hit .288 with 18 RBI and six stolen bases. He figures to see time at shortstop for the Brewers in Segura's absence, but Hector Gomez will likely get the first chance to take over the regular duties at the position. |
Tue May 5 2015 | 11:46 | Sardinas 13-42 (.310) with four RBI and five stolen bases over l... |
Sardinas went 13-for-42 (.310) with four RBI and five stolen bases over his last 10 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs. |
Sardinas has made good contact all season, owning a .320 batting average in 24 games during the current campaign. He has yet to homer, but he has struck out at a lower rate than he did a year ago, and is already half way to last season's total of 10 stolen bases in 81 minor league games. He is not on the verge of a call-up at this time, but could see action at the big league level at some point this season. |
