After losing two out of three games over the weekend to the New York Mets, the 13-25 Milwaukee Brewers have made a somewhat surprising roster mover early this morning. After going 0-10 over the weekend series, the Brewers have optioned starting second baseman Scooter Gennett to AAA Colorado Springs. In his place, the Brewers have recalled RHP Corey Knebel.
This season has been nothing short of a nightmare for the 25 year old Gennett, who has been unable to get anything going at the plate after being handed the starting second baseman job in the offseason, following the departure of Rickie Weeks.
