Rotowire
Triple-A Nashville placed Roller on its 7-day injured list April 21 with an unspecified injury.
Roller hit .308 with three extra-base hits and a stolen base over 10 games for Nashville, but he hadn't played since April 11 due to the injury before shifting to the IL. The 27-year-old outfielder was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster during the offseason and could make his MLB debut later this summer once he moves past the injury.

Rotowire
Milwaukee optioned Roller to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Roller will start the 2024 season in the minors after slashing .247/.394/.449 with 15 home runs, 67 RBI and 19 stolen bases between the Brewers' and Guardians' Triple-A affiliates in 2023. He has yet to make a plate appearance in the majors since being drafted in 2017, but he could make his way onto the Brewers' active roster in 2024 if he continues to excel at the dish at Triple-A and if Milwaukee has a need for an extra outfielder.
