Bush's sim game was "excellent," per asst GM Gord Ash. Rehab start Tues. at Class A Wisconsin.

Per Adam McCalvy tweet.

#Brewers today signed CF Corey Patterson, recently released by #Nationals, to Minors deal. He's expected to join Triple-A Nashville tonight.

Guess the pressure is on for Gerut for CF 2010.

Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount for an encounter with umpires after Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati.

The suspension, which will begin tonight, was announced by Bob Watson, vice president for on-field operations for Major League Baseball.

Sveum took exception to the calls being made by home plate umpire Kevin Causey. At the end of the game, Sveum yelled at Causey as he walked off the field. When third-base umpire Brian Runge became involved, Runge and Sveum exchanged words.

MLB called Sveume's actions "inappropriate and aggressive toward the umpires." We'll have to see if this was a shock to manager Ken Macha.

Causey made a contreversial interference call at second base the night before and he called out five Brewers on strikes when he was behind the plate Sunday. Causey was called up from the minors to fill-in for a vacationing umpire

Per Tom H.

Dave Bush will see a doctor after complaining of arm fatigue in his poor outing Wednesday night with Class AA Huntsville.

Per Rotoworld - Phillies released outfielder Geoff Jenkins.
Signed to a two-year, $13 million contract last offseason, Jenkins lost his starting job to Jayson Werth and is now completely out of the Phillies' plans after hitting just .246/.301/.392 last season. He still has some value as a platoon player or bench bat, but at 34 years old Jenkins is likely done as a regular and the Phillies have the similarly skilled Matt Stairs around to take his at-bats.

I just learned that the Brewers knocked off one of their arbitration-eligible players by agreeing to terms with right-hander Seth McClung.

Deal is for 1 year at $1,662,500.00. McClung made $750,000 last season, when he went 6-6 with a 4.02 ERA in 37 appearances (12 starts).

Prince Fielder, Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks are the remaining arbitration-eligible players for the Brewers.

Per BF.net and XM Radio.

Per Gord Ash on XM Wed am. Sounds like Branyan has same type of injury as Braun. Also mentioned they'll have to make a DL decision on Braun by end of week if no progress is made.

The Seth McClung/Dave Bush Experiment is on.

As he suggested he would prior to the all-star break, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost told us a little while ago that he intends to use both McClung and Bush in the same spot in the rotation. McClung will pitch on the road, beginning Monday in St. Louis, and Bush at home, with his first assignment next Saturday against Houston.
