Yesterday's Results
The Brewers had the day off
Brewers News & Notes
- After being held out of Wednesday's game with a sore pinky, it was revealed that Jean Segura's pinky was actually broken, and he was placed on the 15-day DL. To fill his spot on the roster, Luis Sardinas was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs. There is currently no timetable for Segura's return, but a broken bone typically keeps a player out for four to six weeks.
- Adam McCalvy of Brewers.com writes that Craig Counsell learned to trust his instincts early in his career, and he is using that advice as he begins his managerial career.
- Nicholas Zettel of Disciples of Uecker has a follow-up post on the Brewers bats and how they have been performing in recent weeks.
- Over on The Brewers Bar, Nich Michalski notes that the callup of Luis Sardinas will be the first glimpse into the success or failure of the Yovani Gallardo trade. Also, he is not happy that the roof at Miller Park is always closed and wants the Brewers to open it more often.
- To evaluate Doug Melvin's ability to draft pitchers, Kurtis Hardy of Bleacher Report grades Melvin's drafts over the years based on pitchers drafted in the first five rounds. (Fair warning: It is in slideshow format.)
