Brewers Return Coleman Crow To Triple-A After Spot Start

[Steve Drumwright]

 

Coleman Crow will have to wait to follow up his impressive MLB debut.

The Milwaukee Brewers sent Crow back to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday and promoted right-hander Carlos Rodriguez from Triple-A.

Crow looked very poised and unleashed his dazzling curveball during his debut Friday against the Miami Marlins, going 5⅓ innings, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk with four strikeouts. The Brewers won 7-5 in 10 innings.

He was called up to make a spot start with left-hander Kyle Harrison needing a few extra days after a slight injury to his left wrist in Sunday's start. Harrison is scheduled to have a bullpen session Saturday and return to the rotation in the next series against the Detroit Tigers.

Rodriguez, a starter, will add length out of the Brewers' bullpen. He has made seven appearances, including three starts, over the last two seasons with the Crew, posting a 6.95 ERA. In three starts at Nashville this year, Rodriguez has an 8.71 ERA, allowing 10 runs on 16 hits and 10 walks with 12 strikeouts.

So Rodriguez is in the Mcgee role until Harrison makes his next start. The taxi squad that isn't, but sorta is.

I've always been intrigued by Crow & loved the debut. He'll certainly be back.

Crow’s curve was impressive….fastball had some movement with different arm delivery.  I wonder where he slots in now with Gasser and Henderson.
