In a seller-friendly market, the Brewers linked up with a fellow contender in the Arizona Diamondbacks to check a needed bullpen piece off their trade deadline shopping list. Milwaukee acquired left-hander Andrew Chafin from Arizona in exchange for Peter Strzelecki in the final hours before the trade deadline on Tuesday.
Left-handed relief returned to the Brewers’ checklist as quickly as they crossed it off last week. Justin Wilson returned from Tommy John surgery on July 28 but suffered a lat strain while warming up in the bullpen later that night. He returned to the injured list the following day.
