Hmm, weird the call up came during the Brewer and Sounds game, almost in reaction to Rengifo injury. But I guess not.

Maybe he was given the choice of this or an IR stint with no guarantees on a spot when he's eligible to come back?

Not that I'm too worked up about it, but I'd rather have the depth hanging around for two more weeks than not.  Never know who else gets hurt or someone does really poorly.

LR will be available if we need him back, god forbid.

This is the only thing that makes sense to me. They were going to IL him after the game and he didn’t feel the injury warranted going on the IL so he basically just asked them to move on instead in hopes that he can catch on elsewhere rather than just sit and not play for the next couple weeks.

I don’t see the Brewers of all teams just suddenly deciding during a game that they’re done with a guy.

I'm assuming that the MLB CBA prevent teams from DFA-ing a player who is injured.  My guess is that they 1) saw LR get dinged up in the game and subsequently thought they might need CP if they had to DL LR and thus pulled CP from the game, and then 2) had to have a medical exam of LR to make sure that he wasn't injured and could DFA him.  

Now that LR has been medically cleared, they can DFA him and not have to put him on the DL.

Maybe ticket sales for this Miz-less series were looking light so they juiced social media to drum up some free promo?
