The newly formed MLB Draft League announced Monday that Gyorko accepted a managerial position with one of its six founding teams, the West Virginia Black Bears.
EDGE Analysis
With the 32-year-old Gyorko having committed to instruct draft-eligible prospects this summer, he'll presumably close the curtains on an 11-year professional career. Gyorko spent the past eight of those seasons in MLB, seeing action with the Padres, Cardinals, Dodgers and Brewers. Over 847 career games, Gyorko slashed .245/.310/.424 with 121 home runs and 370 RBI.

The Brewers declined Gyorko's $4.5 million club option for 2021, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old was a strong contributor for the Brewers during the shortened season, as he posted a career-best .837 OPS with nine home runs and 17 RBI in 43 games. Gyorko had most of his success against LHPs (1.048 OPS in 57 plate appearances) and struggled against RHPs with a .699 OPS and 32.1 percent strikeout rate (78 plate appearances). The veteran infielder seems likely to compete in a platoon during spring training, wherever he lands.

Gyorko went 2-for-5 with two solo homers and a walk during Wednesday's 19-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position -- including a GIDP with the bases loaded -- but he still came up with the two solo shots. Gyorko has a .293/.379/.672 slash line with seven homers, 12, runs and 12 RBI in 24 games.

Gyorko is not in the Brewers' lineup Sunday against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko will sit for the second consecutive game, as Jace Peterson will bat seventh and draw the start at first base. After Justin Smoak was designated for assignment, it appeared Gyorko would be in line for more at-bats. However, to this point, Peterson has seen an uptick in playing time instead, as has Daniel Vogelbach.

Gyorko will sit Saturday in Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko could potentially be in line for more starts in Milwaukee now that Justin Smoak is no longer on the roster, though it may take some time to see how the situation shakes out. Jace Peterson starts at first base Saturday, with Daniel Vogelbach serving as the designated hitter.

Gyorko was reinstated from the bereavement list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was away from the team the past few days to attend to some personal issues, but he's back with the Brewers for the weekend series in Cleveland. Gyorko figures to see increased playing time at first base after Justin Smoak was designated for assignment Thursday, though Daniel Vogelbach -- who was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move-- could also factor into the mix.

Gyorko went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's 9-1 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko went deep off Pirates starter Derek Holland in the first inning, and then blasted his second homer of the game off reliever Nick Mears in the seventh. The big performance gave Gyorko five homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored through 43 plate appearances this season. He serves in a utility role in the infield, most recently splitting time with Justin Smoak at first base.
