After pitching a complete-game shutout for Class A Wisconsin on Monday, right-handed pitcher Zach Davies is set to rejoin the Milwaukee Brewers. He’s expected to be activated on Sunday in Washington.

Davies needed just 85 pitches in a complete-game shutout this week. He hasn’t made a start for the Brewers since May 29, missing three months with right shoulder and back issues.

Davies is 2-5 with a 5.23 ERA with the Brewers this season. The role that he returns to the Brewers in, is yet to be determined.

Davies rejoins the Brewers along with a number of potential September call-ups. Brandon Woodruff, Aaron Wilkerson and Adrian Houser have all been starting at Triple A Colorado Springs and are candidates to join the Brewers rotation as well.

Davies has the most experience though. He went 17-9 with a 3.90 ERA in 33 starts for the Brewers last season.

The Milwaukee Brewers made a series of roster moves today. The biggest of which came when they sent shortstop Orlando Arcia to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Arcia has been mired in a season-long offensive slump, hitting .194 with two home runs and 13 RBI. In 139 at bats, Arcia has 34 strikeouts and only seven walks.

The Brewers also sent right-handed pitcher Jorge Lopez to AAA Colorado Springs. They recalled infielder Eric Sogard from Colorado Springs and right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser from AA Biloxi.

The Brewers also made a trade, acquiring minor league catcher Erik Kratz from the New York Yankees for a player to be named or cash. Kratz was hitting .269 in 17 games with AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had four home runs and six RBI.

To make room for Kratz, the Brewers designated catcher Jett Bandy for assignment.
