The Milwaukee Brewers sent rookie pitcher Tyler Thornburg back to Triple-A Nashville following the 11-10 loss to the Nationals yesterday.
Thornburg made appearances out of the bullpen last Wednesday and Thursday but was removed from that second outing because of a tired arm.
Thornburg made two starts for the Brewers and has a 0-0 record with a 5.79 ERA.
