Jeffress called up, Wooten optioned, Henderson to 60 day DL

[trwi7]

#Brewers have added Jeremy Jeffress to the bullpen. Rob Wooten optioned to AAA. Jim Henderson moved to 60-day DL to make 40-man space.

 

[torts]

did not see Hendy to the 60-day coming at all

[torts]

OH! and not to miss... congrats on Jeffress return to the majors!!!!

[brewmann04]

Hope Jeffres and Smith can nail down the 8th Inning now,Does the Henderson move we won'r see him to Sept?

[torts]

is the 60-day move retroactive to his initial DL start?

[TooLiveBrew]

is the 60-day move retroactive to his initial DL start?

I sure as heck hope so

[torts]

so May 2nd was when he started his 15-day DL

[brewmann04]

Conor I wonder if they are going to wait till the Roster expand but have not heard any setback so far in his rehab. Very Curious move

[JohnBriggs12]

I'm all for replacing Wooten. Should have been done weeks ago. They apparently couldn't wait on Henderson's return and that's rather curious though. Couldn't believe how Schroeder would continually gloss over Wooten's struggles every time he entered a game. Why do Brewer announcers have such low standards anyway? A guy has two decent outings and they are sold on him no matter what he does after that. I guess that's a topic for another thread.

[torts]

From my understanding this move would not delay Henderson's return from the DL as he has already passex the 60 day threshold

[brewmann04]

TOM H Tweets that the 60 days DL will have no affect on his possible return

[brewmann04]

if Henderson Returns healthy it will give us two Power ARMS from the Right side.

[monty57]

So is this the move Agent39 was talking about?

[torts]

Yes

Someone really should have told the Brewers Twitter account.

Pretty solid move if you ask me. Henderson probably needs another week or two in rehab anyways; worry about that 40 man spot when the time comes. Right now the team can't rely on Wooten in high leverage situations. Hopefully Jeffress can come in and contribute.

It's still his birthday.

[Bombers]

I am all on board with this. Good luck to you Jeffress!

[brewmann04]

the positive thing he seems to keep the ball in the park.

Maybe Wooten and Randy Wolf can have a chat.

[Funketown]

That's got to be pretty disappointing for Wooten, having just started to bounce back/forth to the majors at age 29. He's put up decent numbers in 60 total innings, so hopefully there's a spot for him at the back of somebody's bullpen.

 

Jeffress gives this bullpen the potential to be really tough down the stretch. With K-Rod, Smith, Jeffress, and this man who is masquerading as Zach Duke, they should be in pretty good shape from the 7th inning on for the rest of the year.

[The stache]

Awesome, bring it, Jeremy! Blow that heat right up their -----!

[chadomac]

I would have rather seen Kintzler get sent down, but I'll take it. This bullpen needs a shot in the arm and Jeffress may be able to help us.

[stoutdude04]

Ron still needs to put him in at the right times. I'm hoping he can do just that.

[TooLiveBrew]

There's that, & there's also the whole 'flirts with triple-digits with his fastball' thing. But the two are probably related.

 

Good luck to you Jeremy, & we need you bud. Hopping right into the fire... I can't imagine a young player wouldn't relish this kind of opportunity. I know I'll be tuning in to games now with the hope of seeing Jeffress as a top priority. And fortunately, it seems Roenicke will be forced to use him since our bullpen options have been so limited by injuries. If not for that, I could easily have seen Ron hardly using Jeffress & espousing reason after reason about how he can't use a young kid in big moments. Talent needs to play, period.
