Overview

  • The move is retroactive to Tuesday and follows the club’s announcement before Friday’s series opener in Pittsburgh.
  • Mears joins fellow relievers Trevor Megill (right flexor strain), DL Hall (right oblique), Grant Anderson (right ankle) and Shelby Miller (right elbow/UCL) on the injured list.
  • Right-hander Carlos Rodríguez was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to fill the open roster spot.
  • With Megill and Miller unavailable, Abner Uribe and Jared Koenig have taken recent save opportunities.
  • The Brewers expect Anderson to begin a rehab assignment Saturday and view late September as possible for Hall, while Miller is on the 60-day IL facing the possibility of a second Tommy John surgery; Milwaukee entered Friday with MLB’s best record and a 5½-game NL Central lead.
