After his unfortunate major league debut Wednesday, pitcher Aaron Ashby was sent back down to Nashville. Alec Bettinger was called back up. Pitcher Angel Perdomo was brought off the injured list, and assigned to Nashville.
The Brewers have won nine straight, and continue that series at Pittsburgh tonight. Adrian Houser will pitch against J.T. Brubaker.
