  • Brewers transfer DL Hall (knee) to 60-day IL
    Brewers transferred LHP DL Hall to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Hall visited specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a second opinion on his left knee and has opted to go the rest and rehabilitation route instead of receiving a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. The procedural move keeps him sidelined until at least late June and opens up a spot on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:09 am

  • Throws light bullpen Friday
    Munoz (back) threw a light bullpen session before Friday's game against the Royals per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, but the reliever did not appear in the contest.

    Advice: Divish had noted there was a possibility Munoz would be available for the first time since exiting Tuesday's game against the Athletics, but it was Ryne Stanek who got the ninth-inning call and ultimately failed to protect a 9-7 lead. With Stanek having appeared in three of the last four games and having thrown 39 pitches in the last two nights, Munoz would certainly be in line for any high-leverage work Saturday if he's healthy enough to handle it.

  • Bednar picks up 13th save Friday
    David Bednar tossed a scoreless ninth inning and picked up the save against the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: The save was Bednar’s 13th of the season. He blew three of his first four save opportunities this season, but since then he’s converted on 12 consecutive save chances.
