Headed back to Triple-A Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Hiura was recalled to the big-league club Thursday, so his promotion was short-lived. He started one of two games since and collected one hit and drove in one across four at-bats. The move will end a disappointing campaign for Hiura, as he hit just .168/.256/.301 across 197 plate appearances for Milwaukee and also spent a large portion of his season in Nashville.

Recalled by Milwaukee Hiura was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Hiura has been in the minors since mid-August, and he slashed .150/.274/.280 with three home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs across 31 games since his demotion. The 25-year-old has hit .166 across 59 major-league appearances this year and should serve as a depth option heading into the final series of the regular season.

AUGUST 19, 2021

Activated at Triple-A level Hiura was activated from the COVID-19 list at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Impact It's been a frustrating year for Hiura, but he's at least now through his two-week COVID-related absence. There doesn't appear to be a role available for him at the major-league level at the moment, but he'll at least now be able to get back into game action in the minors.

On COVID IL at Triple-A Hiura is on the COVID-19 injured list at Triple-A Nashville.

Impact He has not appeared in a game since being optioned to Triple-A on July 30. There was no room for him to get playing time on the big-league roster, particularly after the acquisitions of Rowdy Tellez and Eduardo Escobar, so he shouldn't be expected to return to the majors anytime soon.

Demoted again Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hiura didn't have an everyday role in the time since his latest call-up in late June and didn't look great at the plate, striking out 39.4 percent of the time while slashing a passable but unexciting .230/.324/.443. The acquisition of Eduardo Escobar means his role was expected to shrink still further down the stretch, so he'll head to the minors in search of regular at-bats. He has very little to prove at the Triple-A level, however, hitting .347/.434/.691 there in 77 career games.
