Sources told MLB Network that the Brewers will likely place third baseman Travis Shaw on the injured list to make room for Hiura on the 25-man roster. Mike Moustakas would likely move over to third base, his primary position.
The Brewers face the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
