Brewers dip into Class AA for starting pitcher

For the first time since 2012, the Milwaukee Brewers have dipped into Class AA for a starting pitcher.

The team announced Friday that right-hander Tyler Wagner would be recalled from Biloxi and start Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Park. A move to clear space for Wagner on the 25-man roster is pending.

Wagner, a fourth-round draft choice out of the University of Utah in 2012, will take the place of Wily Peralta, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list earlier in the week with a strained left oblique. He's expected to miss four to six weeks.
