As tonight's game against the Pirates approaches, the Brewers are considering making a DL move due to a minor injury. Tom Haudricourt reports that reliever Brandon Kintzler has a minor trapezius strain, and will likely be placed on the 15-day DL. As of right now, the move is not official, but indications are that the move will happen.
As good as the bullpen has been, the depth is a bit thin right now. The Brewers have been essentially working with a six-man bullpen since they do not want to pitch Wei-Chung Wang until the "right" situation comes up. Any injury in the bullpen will stretch the depth even further, and anything longer than a few days will need someone to be called up for extra depth.
Check out Brew Crew Ball for any updates to the situation. We will provide updates if/when Kintzler goes on the DL, as well as who they decide to call up from Nashville.
