The Brewers will recall INF Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Nashville prior to Saturday's game.

Maysonet was optioned earlier this week when Cody Ransom was claimed off waivers. He'll be used as infield depth with Cesar Izturis (hamstring) on the disabled list.
May 26 - 8:46 AM

Brewers placed SS Cesar Izturis on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

Cody Ransom will be thrust into a starting role at shortstop. Izturis suffered the injury while running the bases in the sixth inning of Friday's game. The Brewers are expected to recall Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding roster move.
May 26 - 8:41 AM

Yovani Gallardo beat the Diamondbacks by allowing one run and five hits in 7 1/3 innings on Friday night.

Gallardo's two awful outings this season have taken a toll on his ERA, but he has given the Brewers quality starts in the remaining eight of his 10 appearances. The win tonight makes him 3-4 with a 4.19 ERA. This might be the last chance to buy low on him.
May 26 - 1:04 AM

Aramis Ramirez left Friday's game against the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning after being hit in the leg by a pitch.

Ramirez stayed in the game at first, but was replaced by Taylor Green at first base to begin the bottom of the ninth. We'll likely hear an update on his status after the game.
May 26 - 12:51 AM

Cesar Izturis was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring.

Izturis suffered the injury while running the bases in the sixth inning of Friday's game. Cody Ransom, who was claimed off waivers this week, figures to see significant playing time at shortstop if he needs a stint on the disabled list.
May 25 - 11:46 PM

Cesar Izturis left Friday's game against the Diamondbacks in the top of the sixth inning with an apparent injury.

It was obvious something was wrong after he pulled up at third base instead of trying to score on a single. He was replaced by the newly-claimed Cody Ransom. Stay tuned for an update on his status.
May 25 - 11:30 PM

Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel expects either Wily Peralta or Mike Fiers to replace Marco Estrada (quad) in the Brewers' starting rotation.

Manager Ron Roenicke had previously been leaning toward reliever Manny Parra, but it sounds like the Brewers have opted to go in a different direction. Peralta has a 5.63 ERA in nine starts with Triple-A Nashville this season, but he's more exciting than Fiers from a fantasy perspective.
May 25 - 8:51 PM

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke indicated that Manny Parra is likely to take Marco Estrada's (quad) spot in the rotation.

"Maybe we'll try to piggyback somebody with (Parra)," Roenicke said. "We'll make sure we've got somebody behind Manny that can give us some length." Parra's last major-league start came on August 22, 2010, but he's made 74 starts in his career and has pitched at least two innings in eight of 19 appearances this season.
May 25 - 8:57 AM

Brewers recalled RHP Mike McClendon from Triple-A Nashville.

McClendon has surrendered 10 hits and six earned runs in just 5 1/3 innings of relief this season. He'll function primarily as a mop-up man for the Brew Crew.
May 24 - 2:05 PM

Brewers placed RHP Marco Estrada on the 15-day disabled list with a right quad strain.

Estrada suffered the injury on Wednesday night while running the bases. Brewers general manager Doug Melvin told a radio station in Milwaukee on Thursday morning that the 28-year-old right-hander will miss 3-4 starts. It's not yet clear who will be asked to fill in.
May 24 - 2:03 PM

Brewers GM Bob Melvin told a Milwaukee radio station Thursday that Marco Estrada (hip) will miss 3-4 starts.

Estrada suffered a right hip flexor strain while running the bases in Wednesday's 8-5 defeat of the Giants. It's an injury that can be pretty uncomfortable for pitchers. Manny Parra is an option to fill in, as are minor leaguers Tyler Thornburg, Wily Peralta and Michael Fiers. Luck has not been kind to the Brew Crew so far in 2012.
May 24 - 10:49 AM

Brewers transferred SS Alex Gonzalez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

It's just a procedural move. Gonzalez underwent season-ending surgery for a torn ACL about one week ago.
May 23 - 5:01 PM

Jonathan Lucroy went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in the Brewers' 8-5 defeat of the Giants on Wednesday.

Lucroy is hitting a remarkable .400 with three homers and 21 RBI in 75 at-bats this month. It'd be an understatement to say he's seeing the ball well: he's fanned just six times after striking out 13 times in 54 at-bats during April.
May 23 - 5:01 PM

Brewers optioned INF Edwin Maysonet to Triple-A Nashville.

Maysonet has tallied just three hits in 21 at-bats this year in the major leagues. He's organizational depth.
May 23 - 5:00 PM

Brewers claimed INF Cody Ransom off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Ransom was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks earlier this week despite posting a .922 OPS in 58 plate appearances. The 36-year-old has good power and should get regular playing time at shortstop in Milwaukee. He's worth trying out in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
