The Milwaukee Brewers optioned right-handed pitcher Jorge Lopez to Double-A Biloxi and selected the contract of right-hander Rob Scahill from Triple-A. To make room for Scahill, the Brewers outrighted Tyler Cravy to Triple-A, taking him off the 40-man roster.
Lopez was called up on Thursday afternoon to fill in a spot in the Brewers bullpen after Chase Anderson was placed on the 10-day disabled list. He pitched the eighth and ninth innings with a comfortable lead, allowing four hits and one run in the Brewers’ 11-3 win over Cincinnati. In his first MLB outing since 2015, he walked one hitter and didn’t record any strikeouts.
