Matt Garza blasts Brewers, refuses to move to bullpen

The Milwaukee Brewers recently decided to remove Matt Garza from their starting rotation for the remainder of the season, and the veteran right-hander is furious about it.

After Garza allowed four earned runs and seven hits in just 4 2/3 innings of work on Saturday (a no-decision that the Brewers won 8-6), manager Craig Counsell revealed that the start would be the 31-year-old’s last of the season.

“I think it’s important that we get Matt ready for 2016,” Counsell said, via Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “He’s going to be a member of the rotation in 2016, and we’re going to just push the stop button right now.
