-
We have reports from March–April 2026 indicating Berroa was sidelined by a right shoulder strain, placed on the injured list, and later began a rehab assignment in the Brewers’ system. He was cleared for rehab games in early April, with the expectation that he’d need several rehab appearances before returning to MLB action [sources: CBS Sports/Rotowire reporting on March 24 and April 3, 2026].[1][2]
-
On April 2, 2026, Berroa was designated for assignment as Milwaukee created roster space for another player, though he remained on a rehab path at that time.[5]
-
By late May 2026, Berroa had moved to a new organization via trade to the Philadelphia Phillies, who optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. This marks a continuation of his minor-league assignment status after the move.[10]
-
For the most current status, verify whether he has since been added to Philadelphia’s active roster or remained in the minors, as roster moves can occur quickly in MLB. The latest reporting indicates the Phillies acquired him for cash considerations and assigned him to Lehigh Valley as of April 2026.[10]
