"It works out well," Counsell said.
Tentatively, Cravy will pitch out of the Brewers bullpen. Club officials have also discussed the merits of adding a bat during this stretch of games, and planned to revisit that idea before the start of a series in Washington D.C. on Friday. Outfielder Domingo Santana, acquired from the Astros in the Carlos Gomez /Mike Fiers trade, is the leading candidate for a promotion.
Cravy fell to 0-5 with a 6.67 ERA after allowing seven runs (four earned) on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings of Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.
