Sogard DL'd, Rivera recalled, Reed outrighted

[And That]

 

[Greenleaf1]

Interesting developments.

 

Guessing it's Rivera because they only plan to have him up for the weekend and he's already on the 40-man and could be optioned back. Also for infield flexibility over the weekend (I wonder if he'll get a start over Villar tomorrow against the lefty?)

 

If De Jesus was on the 40-man I'm guessing they would've gone with him, but not sure if he'd have options left to send him back down after the weekend.

 

If it was just for a bat I would've guessed Brinson, but when you've got Perez to play LF when Braun DH's, I guess there's not much point to bringing him up to just sit on the bench.

 

 

As for Reed being outrighted with no other move, that seems like 1 of about 3 things:

1. Rivera's only up for the day, and they plan on using that spot for someone over the weekend.

2. There's a trade or waiver claim brewing and they'll need the spot soon.

3. Now seems like a good time to try to pass him through waivers rather than waiting until we need the spot.

 

I'm going to guess it's #3.

When rhe Brewers say outrighted to AA doesn't that mean he has already cleared waivers.

yes

[BrewersAA]

They said on the broadcast "just missed Garrett cooper in the dugout" of a foul ball. But I have not seen anything reported anywhere

[Outlander]

Maybe they will do what they did last year and send Davies to the minors before the All Star break.

he has no minor league options remaining.

last year, the brewers optioned davies over the all-star break to give andy wilkins a shot. i'm still thinking this happens again (but not the andy wilkins part).

[LouisEly]

There was a bit of an uproar over that Davies move last year.

 

But this year the Brewers are in 1st place. Every game from here on out counts. I think it would be more than justified to do it this year to bring up another bat for a few games.

I would've preferred they brought up Brinson and played Perez at 2B.

sogard begins a minor league rehab assignment tonight with the timber rattlers.

[djoctagone]

sogard went 0-3 and played the first five innings at second base last night for the timber rattlers. he has one more game with the class a team. it's unclear whether he'll continue his rehab at a higher minor league level or if he'll join the brewers in philadelphia and be activated tomorrow.

[djoctagone]

sogard played eight innings at second base last night for the timber rattlers. 0-2 with two walks and a run scored. it is possible that he'll be activated today.

Sogard is in Philly and Phillips is in the starting lineup. No roster move yet. Is Keon going to AAA?

I bet Scahill gets the axe.

 

With Braun hurting we'd be really light on outfielders if we sent down Keon.

eric thames can play left. hernan perez can play left. heck, even eric sogard has seen time in left.

 

as suggested in another thread, i'm sensing it's broxton being optioned, but for less than 20 days to ensure that he doesn't burn his final option.

sogard says he expects to be activated tomorrow.

Yes Thames can stand out in LF but it is brutal to watch him play LF.

[brewmann04]

I just think Sogard belongs in the lineup.

Sogard or Kinsler

A career .642 OPS guy has a lot to live up to to a few of you. Wouldn't shock me if he never regains half of what he produced before being injured.

But if he can put the ball in play instead of striking out I'll take his career .642 OPS right about now...

Exactly...sometimes all it takes is putting the ball in play. Pirates proved that in their 4 game sweep.

Sogard back broxton down

[jjgott]

Long time coming for Broxton. I really like him and think he can be a solid MLB'er, but save for a few hot streaks he's been out of it most of this season.

He can't survive striking out almost 40% of the time. I was hoping he would build on last year and at least get it down to like 30 or 31% but it just isn't getting better.
