Via Brewers Player Development Twitter Account: The Brewers have signed 32nd rd pick Ryan Deeter from UCLA & free agent SS Steven Halcomb out of Gonzaga (2013 stats here as well, .314 OBP - MH). Both are off to PHX #MicroBrewers

Caleb Gindl back up to Milwaukee.

Update from the Stars: Outfielder Kentrail Davis has been promoted to AAA Nashville. The Stars open roster spot has not been filled, however, Kentrail’s All-Star Game slot has been filled by Brock Kjeldgaard, currently 2nd in the league in home runs. Additionally, a roster move in Chattanooga yesterday opened a pitching spot on the All-Star roster and the next highest vote getter was Ariel Pena. So the final tally on Huntsville Stars All-Stars is: 1- Jimmy Nelson (promoted to AAA) 2- Kentrail Davis (promoted to AAA) 3- Taylor Jungmann 4- Ariel Pena 5- Brock Kjeldgaard 6- Jason Rogers Jason Rogers will represent the North All-Stars in the pre-game home run derby.
