• Brewers outright James Meeker to Triple-A
    Brewers sent RHP James Meeker outright to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: The 29-year-old hurler was jettisoned off of the Brewers’ 40-man roster earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the team at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Devin Williams (back) nearing mound work
    Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy told reporters on Saturday that Devin Williams (back) remains on track to return after the All-Star break.

    Advice: Murphy also noted that the 29-year-old hurler is expected to get on a mound soon as he continues his recovery from a pair of stress fractures in his back. While Trevor Megill has been outstanding in his stead, Williams is one of the premiere closers in all of baseball and should jump right back into the Brewers’ ninth inning role as soon as he’s healthy enough to do so.

    Cimber was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Saturday.

    Advice: Cimber was touched up for four runs over one-third of an inning in Friday's 8-6 win over the Giants and he will now be forced to miss at least 15 days while nursing inflammation in his throwing shoulder.
