Brewers release Wolf

The Milwaukee Brewers have released left-handed pitcher Randy Wolf today.

Randy Wolf

Wolf struggled much of the season, posting a 3-10 record with a 5.69 ERA. 

Wolf went 13-12 with a 4.17 ERA in his first season with the Brewers and followed that up last year with a 13-10 record and a 3.69 ERA. 

Wolf is in the final year of his contract, but the deal does have a club option for 2013 with a $1.5-million buyout, which the Brewers will obviously have to pay.

In 142 1/2 innings, Wolf allowed a league highs in hits with 179 and earned runs with 90.

Shaun Marcum is scheduled to come off of injured reserve and pitch against the Pirates Saturday or Sunday.  Wolf’s release will allow Marcum to move into the rotation.

The Brewers also called up infielder Jeff Bianchi from Class AAA Nashville.

Marcum’s arm still on the mend

By

Shaun Marcum did some throwing on Monday and revealed that his right elbow is still sore.  That means more rest for Marcum and for the Milwaukee Brewers to continue with Plan B.

Marcum has missed his last two starts and could be sidelined for some time.  He’s currently on the teams 15-day disabled list.

Marco Estrada is ready to return to the Brewers active roster.  He’ll start for the Brewers against the Cincinnati Reds tonight. 

Marcum is 5-3 with a 3.39 era in 13 starts for the Brewers this season.  Estrada returns to action with a 0-3 record and a 4.50 era.

 

Marcum will miss tonight’s start

By

Milwaukee Brewers right hander Shaun Marcum will miss his schedule start tonight in game 2 of their series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Miller Park.

Marcum is plagued by elbow tightness.  The Brewers will call up a pitcher from the minors later today.

Marcum had won three straight starts before a no-decision in Kansas City last week.  He’s 5-3 on the season with a 3.39 ERA in 13 starts.

By missing the start tonight, Marcum will miss a chance to pitch against his former team.  Toronto traded Marcum to the Brewers for Brett Lawrie.

 

Marcum leads Brewers past Dodgers

By

The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t had a lot go right this season, when they head to the 8th inning with a lead, they’re a sure bet to

John Axford

hang on and win.

Aramis Ramirez homered and drove in a pair of runs to back the strong pitching of right hander Shaun Marcum.  Marcum held the Los Angeles Dodgers to 1 run on 6 hits in 7 innings. 

Francisco Rodriguez allowed a run in the eighth, but closer John Axford kept the Dodgers off the board in the ninth, stranding the potential tying run at second.  Axford notched his 8th save in 9 chances, with his fastball reaching 98 to 100 mph.

The Brewers improved to 2-2 on the road trip.  They called up pitcher Michael Fiers to start game 2 of the series against the Dodgers tonight.  Fiers takes the spot in the rotation previously occupied by Marco Estrada.

Ron Roenicke was short another player, placing first baseman Travis Ishikawa (oblique strain) on the disabled list.  Catcher George Kottaras had to leave the game with a hamstring cramp, and reliever Kameron Loe wasn’t available because of elbow soreness.
