It’s May 1, and the expanded rosters return to normal side after today’s games. Per an agreement before the start of the season, teams were allowed to carry 28 players through May 1. Now that the deadline has arrived, the Brewers had to make some decisions today.
The first happened before the game. Reliever Jake Cousins was placed on the 10-day IL with fluid build-up in his right elbow. As a corresponding move, Victor Caratini was activated from the COVID-19 IL. Caratini had spent less than a week on the IL, meaning that he had passed his tests and was cleared to return.
