Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Brewers activated RHP Josh Butler from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Double-A Huntsville.

Butler has been throwing bullpen sessions at extended spring training and has probably been ready for activation for over a week. But the Brewers don't really have a spot for him in their bullpen at the moment and would prefer the right-hander to build his confidence at the Double-A level.

Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Josh Butler (elbow) is expected to throw off a mound this week.

Butler suffered a shoulder injury this spring and was unable to land a spot in the Brewers' bullpen. He has been rehabbing down at extended spring training and even threw live batting practice Friday. It's not clear if he will rejoin the big league club once fully recovered or simply head to Triple-A.

Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Brewers placed RHP Josh Butler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with a right elbow impingement.

The team voided his option to the minors and placed him on the disabled list. The 25-year-old right-hander hasn't thrown in a game this spring due to inflammation in his right elbow. It isn't known when he'll return to action.

Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Josh Butler has been shut down due to inflammation in his right elbow.

Butler had to stop throwing during a bullpen session on Friday due to continued discomfort in his right triceps muscle, so this latest development is a bit of a surprise. Butler was given a cortisone injection and will be shut down for five days. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed four runs in four innings as a September call-up last season.

Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Josh Butler felt soreness in his right triceps during a bullpen session Friday.

Butler rocketed through the Brewers' system last year and was certainly in the mix to make the team this year. While his injury doesn't appear to be serious, it will likely require rest, which will put him behind the rest of the staff.

Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Brewers purchased the contract of RHP Josh Butler from Triple-A Nashville.

One of the organization's more pleasant surprises in 2009, Butler went 9-3 with a 2.97 ERA in 24 games (23 starts) in four different stops, ranging from rookie ball to Triple-A. The 24-year-old right-hander was acquired from the Rays last season. Although it's possible he could draw a start down the stretch, he is expected to contribute out of the bullpen.

Josh Butler - S - Brewers

Brewers acquired RHP Josh Butler from the Rays for outfielder Gabe Gross.

Butler, a 2006 second-round pick, was 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA and a 10/5 K/BB ratio in 17 innings for Single-A Vero Beach. He has a quality fastball-slider combination, but he's more likely to end up in the pen than in the rotation. He'll remain in the FSL and report to Brevard County.

1B	1	Corey Hart D.L. Corey Hart (knee) ran on the field and took full batting practice on Monday. It's the first time he's done so since undergoing knee surgery. Hart admitted that the running was "awkward," but he could be ready for a rehab assignment in about a week. The assignment is expected to take a while, so it will likely be well into June before Hart is activated. May 20

	3	Mat Gamel D.L. Brewers placed 1B Mat Gamel on the 60-day disabled list with a knee injury. It's a procedural move, as Gamel required surgery in early March to repair a torn right ACL and is expected to miss the entire 2013 season. The Brewers now have an opening on their 40-man roster. Mar 20

The left-hander should be ready for a rehab assignment after that. Assuming all goes well, it sounds like Narveson might be ready to return before the end of the month. May 15

	7	Tom Gorzelanny D.L. Brewers placed LHP Tom Gorzelanny on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 8, with shoulder tendinitis. The 30-year-old southpaw has been one of the few dependable arms in the Brewers' bullpen this season, boasting a 2.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over his first 15 2/3 innings. Mike Fiers has been recalled to take his place. May 11
	8	Mark Rogers D.L. Mark Rogers (shoulder) has been pulled from his minor league rehab assignment. Rogers had a rough 11.12 ERA and 1/8 K/BB ratio in 5 2/3 innings with Double-A Huntsville and left his most recent appearance on Tuesday due to tingling in his right arm. The 27-year-old has a long injury history and began the season on the disabled list with what was termed as right shoulder instability. He has been sent back to Phoenix for further testing, after which we should know more about the next step. May 9
