The Biloxi Shuckers, Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, announced a pair of roster moves prior to their game against the Mississippi Braves on Monday. Catcher Mario Feliciano has been promoted to Biloxi from High-A Carolina, while LHP Cameron Roegner has been placed on the temporary inactive list.
Feliciano earns his first promotion to Double-A after playing in 116 games with the Carolina Mudcats in 2019. The 20-year-old hit .273 with 25 doubles, four triples, 19 home runs and 81 RBI. The Bayamon, PR native was named the Carolina League MVP on August 22 after leading the circuit in RBI, slugging percentage (.477), extra-base hits (48) and total bases (210) while also ranking fourth in OPS (.801), sixth in doubles and eighth in hits (120). Taken as the 75th overall pick in the 2016 First Year Player Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers out of the Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy, Feliciano is ranked as the #9 prospect in the Brewers' organization and top-rated catcher in the system according to MLB Pipeline.
In a corresponding move, LHP Cameron Roegner has been placed on the temporary inactive list. Roegner pitch on Sunday, throwing six scoreless innings against the Mississippi Braves. In 16 appearances, ten starts, with Biloxi this season, Roegner is 5-5 with a 4.44 ERA, tossing 71.0 innings and striking out 68.
