CLEVELAND -- Eric Thames is scheduled to test his surgically-repaired left thumb in a rehab assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs beginning Wednesday in Fresno, Calif., meaning potential logjams at first base and in the outfield may finally be nearing reality for the Brewers.
Manager Craig Counsell calls it a good problem to have.
"He's going to play some outfield during his rehab stint, I'll just tell you that," Counsell said. "Look, first of all, it's five days away, so who knows? And we're going to have a lot of good players.
