What We Learned: Mike Fiers starts on short rest

After placing Wily Peralta on the 15-day disabled list, the Brewers were faced with the question of who will replace him in the rotation. Yesterday, was found out that decision is being delayed for a few more days, as Mike Fiers was tabbed to start on short rest for Wily Peralta on Wednesday. With options available at Colorado Springs, it's a strange decision, but a nine-man bullpen means that Fiers doesn't have to stay in too long. Of course, the other side of that is they could have done a bullpen day with Michael Blazek pitching 3-4 innings, and the bullpen having a day to rest on Thursday.
