MILWAUKEE -- Five years ago, Aaron Wilkerson was stocking frozen foods at a grocery store. On Wednesday, he was on his way to the Major Leagues.
The Brewers are bringing up the 28-year-old right-hander, Wilkerson's agent, Burton Rocks, confirmed. The Brewers did not make any immediate announcement, but Wilkerson could help as soon as Friday night, when the Brewers, who are down a starter since Jimmy Nelson's a season-ending shoulder injury, will be the road team at Miller Park for the opener of a series against the Marlins.
When Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell announced his pitching rotation for the series -- relocated to Milwaukee because Miami is recovering from Hurricane Irma -- he left Friday open, followed by Zach Davies on Saturday and Brandon Woodruff on Sunday.
