Roster shuffle - Rogers, Knebel Down; Cravy, Goforth Up

[Mass Haas]

Whoa, this kind of came from nowhere -- looking for a multi-inning reliever in Cravy for now, it seems...

 

Brewers tweet:

 

RHP Corey Knebel and INF/OF Jason Rogers have been optioned to Triple-A @skysox. RHP Tyler Cravy and RHP David Goforth have been recalled.

 

Not like Jason Rogers will get any AAA 3B reps with Matt Dominguez on the Sky Sox roster.

 

Knebel has seen quite a bit of action, maybe just a chance to dial back his appearance count for the moment.

Meanwhile Jonathon Broxton continues to blow leads and stink up the bullpen.

Very curious moves. Rogers getting AB's to prepare if Lind is dealt? What's Cravy's role? Is Lohse about to be sent packing? Davis returning in a few days, maybe Broxton or Lohse goes then? Knebel down for more regular late inning work? Deal for K-Rod in works?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Really curious. Knebel has been pretty solid. Broxton has been a straight up dumpster fire. I realize there's economics involved in how the roster is managed, but yeesh.

 

I hope it's like MH said, and it's just a tool they're using to manage Knebel's innings a little bit.

My guess is they just wanted a few fresh arms because the bullpen has been used quite a bit the last week+? I hope...

Next move, Jungman gets sent down after his start on the 5th and a bat is brought up. Don't need a 5th starter until the 25th, when Peralta should be ready.

I agree about fresh arms but where do you play Rogers 3rb no and at first they have Clark.

as for any pending moves i doubt you see any thing to after the all star game.

Yes, but short of releasing him outright what else can we do with him? Send him to Colorado Springs?
