The Brewers recalled Perkins from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Perkins will rejoin the big club as the roster replacement for Sal Frelick, who landed on the injured list Saturday with a strained right shoulder. Perkins has had limited success in the majors this season, slashing just .157/.250/.258 across 101 plate appearances, and he will likely work in a bench role while Luis Lara receives the largest increase in playing time.
