Overview

  • The team placed Mears on the injured list with back tightness retroactive to Sept. 2, announcing the move before Friday’s series opener in Pittsburgh.
  • Mears joins a crowded IL that already includes closer Trevor Megill (right flexor strain), DL Hall (right oblique), Grant Anderson (right ankle) and Shelby Miller, who is on the 60-day IL with a sprained UCL and faces the possibility of a second Tommy John surgery.
  • Manager Pat Murphy outlined timelines with Megill targeted for Sept. 16, Anderson beginning a Triple-A rehab assignment on Saturday, and Hall viewed as a late-September option.
  • Right-hander Carlos Rodríguez was recalled from Triple-A Nashville; he is 1-0 with a 9.95 ERA in two MLB games and 3-4 with a 3.86 ERA at Nashville this season.
  • Despite the bullpen losses, Milwaukee entered Friday with MLB’s best record and a 5.5-game NL Central lead; Mears has posted a 3.42 ERA over 59 appearances.
