Wily Peralta lasted just 1 2/3 innings and gave up six runs -- four earned -- Wednesday in a loss to the Dodgers.

Even Peralta's good outings haven't been anything special, and he's now 3-5 with a 6.45 ERA for the season. The Brewers may think about making a switch to Mike Fiers and sending Peralta down, though they can only go that route if Kyle Lohse proves healthy. Unfortunately, their Triple-A rotation has been awful, so there's no help there.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Wednesday that Kyle Lohse began feeling discomfort in his right elbow "two or three starts ago" and was recovering slower than usual between starts.

As a result, the Brewers have scratched him from his next scheduled start on Saturday. The Brewers are hopeful that it's not a major issue, but this isn't what you want to hear from someone who is in the first year of a three-year, $33 million contract.

Kyle Lohse will not make his next scheduled start on Saturday due to right elbow irritation.

The description of his condition is rather vague, but the Brewers should provide more information soon. Mike Fiers will start in his place Saturday against the Pirates. Lohse allowed four runs in six innings Sunday against the Cardinals and owns a 3.76 ERA and 37/10 K/BB ratio in 55 innings across nine starts this season.

Aramis Ramirez is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

He'll take a seat for the day game, which is understandable given his knee issue. Jeff Bianchi will make the start at the hot corner.

Jim Henderson earned his ninth save of the season as the Brewers beat the Dodgers 5-2 on Tuesday.

Henderson's save capped off a total of 5 2/3 scoreless innings from the Milwaukee bullpen. He surrendered a hit and a walk but struck out the other three batters he faced and now boasts a 0.95 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 23/5 K/BB ratio in 19 innings this season. The right-hander has been a waiver wire gem so far and should be a steady fantasy closer all year.

Chris Narveson (finger) is scheduled to face live hitters on Friday.

It will come after another successful bullpen session on Tuesday. If Friday's session goes well, Narveson will begin a rehab assignment early next week. "The finger felt good. Just kind of taking it day by day and see how it goes Friday against hitters," Narveson said. "You’re just trying to prepare yourself and get your body ready to pitch again. I think you expect yourself to hit the ground running once you come back."

Tom Gorzelanny (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Friday.

Gorzelanny threw 20 pitches in a live batting practice on Tuesday with no issues. He'll be making his return when first eligible.

Rickie Weeks is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

Just a day off for the struggling Weeks. Jeff Bianchi will start at second base and bat eighth against Zack Greinke.

Reserve outfielder Logan Schafer has posted a .455 OPS for the Brewers this season.

Although Shafer at times looks like a high-schooler at the dish -- slashing .182/.250/.205 -- he's actually registered a positive WAR, due to the three runs he's estimated to have saved in the field, per Baseball Reference. That's good enough to keep a roster spot in the majors, of course, but glove-only subs will have to wait until fantasy baseball evolves to include advanced defensive metrics to have any value even in the deepest of leagues.

Jonathan Lucroy went 0-for-4 on Monday and is just 2-for-23 over the last 10 days.

Lucroy is hitting just .208, but manager Ron Roenicke obviously remains a believer; he had Lucroy batting fifth ahead of a .330-hitting Carlos Gomez tonight. Lucroy should prove to be considerably better than he's been thus far, but was in over his head while batting .320 in 96 games last year.

Aramis Ramirez went 0-for-4 in his return to the starting lineup Monday against the Dodgers.

Ramirez didn't play Sunday because of left knee soreness. He might be day-to-day for a while longer.
May 20 - 10:55 PM

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.

Aramis Ramirez (knee) is not in the Brewers' lineup Sunday.

He's now sat out two of the last four games. Ramirez has five hits -- including two three-run homers -- in the two games he has played during the stretch, but his left knee remains a problem and manager Ron Roenicke anticipates it being one for a while longer. At this point, it doesn't appear that a trip to the DL is in the plans, but A-Ram will continue to see regular days of rest.

Jean Segura finished 3-for-4 with two RBI as the Brewers beat the Cardinals 6-4 on Saturday night.

Segura got the Brewers on the board with a two-run triple in the top of the third inning and also slapped two singles. He has an incredible .361/.404/.582 slash line through 170 plate appearances this season.
May 18 - 11:13 PM

Marco Estrada yielded four earned runs in 5 2/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Cardinals.

The Brewers won it in 10 innings, but no thanks to Estrada. He gave up seven hits and issued four walks while tallying only two strikeouts. The outing moved his ERA from 5.32 to 5.44 and his WHIP from 1.36 to 1.42. He will try to bounce back next week vs. Pittsburgh.
