Wisconsin Media Notes Cameron Garfield in the cleanup spot...

Be sure you look to all recently updated threads on our Minor League Forum, not just the Link Report, for items such as this: Interviews (one print, one audio) with the Angels' AA broadcaster

AUDIO -- WSSP's Bill Michaels spoke with Phil Elson, who did a nice job continuing to break down the trade acquisitions

Nashville Media Notes Khris Davis batting 5th in LF tonight (Gindl in CF, Patterson in RF)

Via the Sounds: INF Edwin Maysonet accepted his outright assignment and rejoins the AAA roster.

Via the Manatees: OF Brock Kjeldgaard assigned outright to Brevard County and transferred to Huntsville. INF Juan Sanchez transferred from Nashville to Brevard County. Sanchez will be active for the Manatees beginning on Tuesday. *** So Brock cleared waivers, is no longer on the 40-man, but at least gets bumped back up to AA.

As per Adam McCalvy tweet: "Seth McClung has been released, presumably so Thornburg has a spot to start. Best of luck to him."

Per Baseball America's Jim Callis, the three newest Brewers would be among the top six slots in his re-constructed Top Ten for the Crew

From the Stars: Khris Davis Named Southern League Hitter of the Week Five Home Runs in Five Games Powers Outfielder to Weekly Honors HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – There are a few things that will get you Hitter of the Week honors in the Southern League. One of them is hitting four home runs in four consecutive days. Huntsville Stars outfielder Khris Davis did just that and earned Southern League Hitter of the Week honors for July 23-29. During that six game span, the 24-year-old hit .545 (12-for-22) with two doubles, four home runs, nine RBIs and seven runs scored. He walked four times and struck out seven. The outfielder had tied the Stars franchise record of five consecutive games with home runs from July 21 – 27. He was one game shy of tying the Southern League record of six consecutive games set by Derrick Lee in 1996. He currently has a 13-game hitting streak. Davis is batting .383 (49-for-128) in 44 games for the Stars this season. He had nine doubles, eight home runs and 23 RBIs. He spent two separate stints on the disabled list this season, the first from May 7 (retroactive to May 6) – June 4 and the second from June 9 (retroactive to June 7) – July 9. *** (and that gets you a well-deserved promotion to Nashville...)

Stars tweet: There was a few changes to our rotation but it's set! Pena tonight, Josh Stinson, Johnny Hellweg, @Jimmy_J_Nelson, Johnnie Lowe RHP Ariel Pena gets the start tonight (season and career stats) *** Looks like Evan Anundsen is odd man out on a rotation spot at the moment...

Update from Eric: Season is over Early.... Diagnosed with Strep throat and Mono this morning Get well, young man, maybe OK for instructionals, if not, of course, the spring...

Two Players of the Week -- congrats! OF Khris Davis (now in AAA) -- Southern League RHP Andy Moye -- Florida State League

Mike McClendon (stats) is the non-sexy pick to come up to the Brewers' bullpen, but made the most sense among 40-man roster eligibles. It's a shame Santo Manzanillo hadn't stayed healthy this season with some take-charge numbers. That would have been fun.

Regarding the DSL standings, as the Cerveceritos have fallen three under .500. They only play four other teams, seeking a volunteer to be the first to post their record against each squad, thanks, to see if anything stands out. DSL Brewers Game-by-Game Schedule

It appears two teams in the Manatees North Division (within which the majority of games are played) have audio, and all six teams in the South Division have audio (at least for their home games), so there will be opportunities to listen to approx. 70% or Brevard's games this season, just all from the opponent's perspective. There are no Florida State League games on MiLB.TV this year. ********** Wisconsin: RHP Matt Miller at Clinton (Mariners), 6:40 PM pre-game, 7:00 gametime Free Live Audio Link - 1280 AM WNAM Chris Mehring is back to do his customary fantastic work as the Voice of the Rattlers.

So for the $39.95 season-long package, fans in Brewer Nation can watch all Sounds games, all Timber Rattlers home games, and Stars' road games from four Southern League locales, plus one July Helena series (11th-13th). ********** Helena: RHP Leonard Lorenzo at Missoula (Diamondbacks), 7:50 PM pre-game, 8:05 gametime Free Live Audio Link -- Select the Helena feed from the MiLB main audio page We're lucky to have Steve Wendt back on board for another H-Crew season. ********** Arizona Rookie (Maryvale): at home vs. the Reds' tykes; 9:00 PM gametime; never audio for games in this league ********** DSL Brewers: Idle

Billings Gazette: Mustangs RF Jeff Gelalich was robbed of extra-bases twice Sunday by spectacular on-the-run catches by Helena LF Ruben Ozuna. Kelly said he thought Ozuna “had absolutely no chance of catching those balls.”

Not an official transaction (yet) -- but via Brevard County Eric Marzec's (stats page) tweets on his health: IV's n Bloodwork #notfun 20 min I'll know if I have Mono and Strep or simply strep... If I just have strep I might be out only a week. If I have both 4-6 weeks =season over

McCalvy tweet: Logan Schafer has a sore right knee and just needs some rest.

Khris Davis love from Baseball America (David Goforth, too)

AZL Royals Bottom of the 5th Alfredo Escalera-Maldonado flies out to left fielder Jose Garcia. Ramon Torres homers (3) on a fly ball to right field. Lance Harper singles on a line drive to left fielder Jose Garcia. Mauricio Ramos triples (3) on a line drive to right fielder Jose Pena. Lance Harper scores. Bobby Fisher-Brown out on a sacrifice fly to left fielder Jose Garcia. Mauricio Ramos scores. Chad Johnson strikes out swinging. AZL Royals Bottom of the 6th Pitching Change: Joel Dicent replaces Anthony Banda. Defensive Substitution: Joe Andrade replaces catcher Clint Coulter, batting 4th, playing catcher. On an 88 degree overcast close game, a bit of an odd spot to remove Coulter. I'd say there was a play at the plate on the sac fly, but then Coulter stayed in for the next strikeout. So probably nothing here, just to keep an eye on...
