Earlier today the Milwaukee Brewers announced that Michael Blazek has cleared outright waivers and been sent outright to AAA Colorado Springs. He was designated for assignment last Wednesday, when the club claimed utilityman Nick Franklin off waivers from Tampa Bay. Blazek had already been optioned to the Sky Sox during spring training and obviously no team felt compelled enough to claim him off waivers and give him a 40 man roster spot at this time.
Blazek, a 35th-round pick by the Cardinals in 2007, came to Milwaukee in September of 2013 as the return for John Axford.
