    Searching for offensive help, the Milwaukee Brewers traded for third baseman Juan Francisco on Monday and promoted second baseman Scooter Gennett from Triple-A Nashville.

    Milwaukee sent minor league pitcher Tom Keeling to Atlanta for Francisco, who was designated for assignment on Thursday. Francisco, who had shared time at third base with Chris Johnson, hit .241 with five home runs and 16 RBIs in 35 games with the Braves.

    With Aramis Ramirez still not 100 percent after spraining his left knee early in the season, Francisco gives the Brewers another option at third and maybe first. He also provides a sorely needed left-handed bat off the bench.
