MILWAUKEE (AP) — After working as a Milwaukee Brewers first-base or third-base coach for the last 14 seasons, Ed Sedar is moving into a new role as an adviser to the team’s coaching staff. That move marked the biggest change as the Brewers announced manager Craig Counsell's 2021 coaching staff Wednesday. Sedar had been the Brewers’ first-base coach from 2007-10 and third-base coach from 2011-20. He also has worked in the Brewers organization as a minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator (1992-2006) and minor league field coordinator (2002-06). “Eddie’s still going to have the responsibilities of helping us down in spring training, he’ll be around the major league team, in uniform before home games, and really just continue to serve as a resource for Craig and the rest of our staff,” Brewers general manager David Stearns said. Quintin Berry will take over as a base coach next season after working as the Brewers’ minor league outfielder and baserunning coordinator from 2019-20. Counsell... [More]

Hitting coach Andy Haines, pitching coach Chris Hook, bullpen coach Steve Karsay, bench coach Pat Murphy and assistant hitting coach Jacob Cruz are returning to the same positions they had this year on manager Craig Counsell’s staff. Jason Lane, a first-base coach this season, will be a base coach again in 2021. Walker McKinven is back as associate pitching, catching and strategy coach. The Brewers will have two new bullpen catchers next year in Nestor Corredor and Adam Weisenburger. Marcus Hanel had been a Brewers bullpen catcher for the last 21 seasons. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

OF Quintin Berry, 32, had his contract selected from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday. He's 27 for 28 on stolen base attempts in his major league career. "It's not any secret why Quintin's here, he's here to be a baserunner," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "This is not just about stealing a base. This is about scoring first on a double, or from second on a two-out single." Berry pinch-ran for Stephen Vogt in the seventh inning.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Quintin Berry has been added to the roster for the NLCS against the New York Mets, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Quintin Berry has been added to the roster for the NLCS against the New York Mets, according to the Chicago Tribune. Berry will be primarily used as a pinch-runner as he takes the spot of the injured Addison Russell.

Berry was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old will provide the Cubs with a quality pinch-run option after swiping 35 bags at Triple-A this season, his sixth 30-plus-steal campaign in the minors. Berry brings little else to the table, offensively, as evidenced by his .237/.340/.302 batting line in parts of five seasons at Triple-A, but he can also play all three outfield positions.

Berry signed a minor league deal with the Cubs and has been assigned to Triple-A Iowa, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

Berry began the year with the Red Sox organization and appeared in 106 games for Triple-A Pawtucket, batting .228 with 36 RBI and 35 steals. The Cubs are likely most intrigued by his speed and will give him a look at the Triple-A level to conclude the season. While Berry hasn't played more than 13 MLB games since 2012, there's a slight chance Chicago views him as a pinch running option down the stretch, if needed.

Berry (back) appeared in a minor-league game Thursday, the Boston Globe reports. He went 2-for-2 with a homer and played three innings, one at each outfield position.

Berry had been shut down since injuring his back while lifting weights earlier this month. There are way too many bodies in front of him in the outfield at the major-league level, so expect him to be with Triple-A Pawtucket to start the season.

Berry (back) is expected to play in a game Thursday, the Boston Globe reports.

Berry suffered back spasms earlier this spring while lifting weights.

Berry is a non-roster invitee that will likely get assigned to Triple-A Pawtucket and be around for some additional speed during September.

Berry has signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo reports.

Berry compiled a respectable .285/.382/.367 batting line with 25 steals in 112 games with the Orioles' Triple-A Norfolk affiliate last season, but his ceiling as a Quad-A player is pretty well established at this point. The 30-year-old has little-to-no pop in his bat and figures to once again play out the season as organizational depth in the minors.

Berry was released Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

With the addition of Ryan Lavarnway to the roster Tuesday, Baltimore released the 30-year-old, who appeared in 10 major league games last season. He spent the bulk of the year at Triple-A Norfolk, hitting .285 with 35 RBI in 365 at-bats.

Berry will be added to the Orioles' roster Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Berry will provide the Orioles with another body in the outfield, but the likelihood of playing time is low given the loaded nature of the outfield. The 29-year-old hit .285/.382/.367 at Triple-A Norfolk this season and will look to push the Orioles into the playoffs. The team will need to make a corresponding move to put Berry on the 40-man roster.

Orioles reassigned OF Quintin Berry and INF Alexi Casilla to minor league camp.

Berry never really had a shot at an Opening Day roster spot and will function as organizational depth this summer for the Orioles. He is a .268/.339/.371 career hitter in 339 major league plate appearances.

Quintin Berry led off and went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Berry hit just .191 while bouncing between the Royals, Red Sox and Tigers' Triple-A teams last year, but the 29-year-old is trying to win a job with the Orioles as a non-roster invite to camp. Berry's best asset is his speed -- even with the miserable batting average, he still managed to steal 30 bases in the minors in 2013 -- something that the O's might have a use for on their bench. Still, it'll be an uphill climb for him to make the team at this point.

Quintin Berry (back) swung a bat on Thursday morning in Orioles camp and reported feeling fine.

Berry is hoping to make his Grapefruit League debut over the weekend. He was pulled from a workout Monday due to a back spasm and held out of a few workouts as a precautionary measure. The 29-year-old is trying to win a backup outfield job this spring.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that Quintin Berry (back) will remain sidelined until Monday "at the latest."

Berry was pulled from a workout Monday morning due to a back spasm, but he's almost 100 percent certain than an MRI will come back clean. Barring anything unforeseen, the speedy outfielder should return to workouts Wednesday.
