Milwaukee Brewers Promote Six Players From AA Biloxi

The Biloxi Shuckers completed their season yesterday, losing 4-2 to the Chattanooga Lookouts in the final game of the Southern League Championship series. The loss is a disappointing way to end an otherwise successful season but we still congratulate the team on their outstanding second place finish, especially in light of their long road trip to start the season. @BrewerNation reported that six Shuckers would be promoted to the big leagues following the completion of their season, and this morning the Brewers confirmed that report by making the following announcement:

The Brewers needed to add four of those players to the 40 man roster, and to clear space announced that they had placed pitchers Jimmy Nelson and Michael Blazek on the 60 day disabled list.
