The Milwaukee Brewers made a handful of roster moves today in advance of the opening game of the series in Detroit. First, the release of Justin Smoak was made official after he was designated for assignment on 3 September. Later in the day, the club announced that Corey Knebel was being activated off the Injured List and Mark Mathias was getting optioned to the Alternate Training Site before to make room on the roster.
Knebel will continue his attempt to return from the Tommy John surgery that kept him on the shelf for the entire 2019 season.
