San Antonio Missions infielder Hernan Perez has been hitting the ball well as of late.

On Friday, that earned him a promotion back to the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Brewers also announced infielder Travis Shaw is being sent back down to the Missions and pitcher Burch Smith was designated for assignment.

The Brewers sent Perez to the Triple-A Missions after he hit .235 in 59 games in the majors this season.

Perez joined the Missions on July 5. He got off to a slow start in San Antonio, hitting .250 with no home runs in his first 10 games.

More recently, things have turned around. The 28-year-old infielder is hitting .313 with five home runs in his last 17 games.

Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported Perez is returning to the Brewers.
