Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez took a big step on Tuesday after taking full batting practice and slid into bases. This is the first time he has done so since fracturing his collarbone on July 20 in Arizona after making this phenomenal catch. (Skip ahead to 2:40 in the video)

With rosters expanding on September 1, Gomez insists that he will be back on the active roster by then, providing the Brewers with stellar defense and blazing speed. Whether or not that is true is to be determined, as he still has to be examined and complete a rehab assignment.

His DWAR (Defensive Wins Above Replacement)is a superb 1.1, especially considering he did not play every day and has missed a month. Gomez also has the higest Range Factor among all National League center fielders, further displaying his defensive abilities.
