Brewers may not activate the 30-year-old officially for a few days -- Patriots INF Tyler Bortnick's Contract Purchased By Milwaukee Brewers Plenty of details on Bortnick's career thus far at that link. Here's his Baseball Reference page.

Backfilling Berberet's spot at Wiscosnin (congratulations, Parker) is RHP Thomas Jankins, activated from the 7-day DL. *** This is likely a way to limit Ponce's innings, seems very wise.

Via @BrewersPD, confirming earlier reports from this thread, and new news on a release: "We've signed RHPs Jeanmar Gomez and Alec Kenilvort and released RHP Stephen Kohlscheen. Sorry to see Kohlscheen go, he was dominant at Biloxi last season, and was enticed to return with a big league camp invite this past spring. *** As Adam Rygg (@BrewerNation) noted, "Jeanmar Gomez saved 37 games for the Phillies last year but pitched to a 7.25 ERA this season in 18 G with the Phillies. 22.1 IP, 21 K, 7 HR"

Well, this is a nice find. Like the Timber Rattlers, Great Lakes puts together video packages for each game, and also like Wisconsin, they're not shy about showing highlights from both teams' perspectives. Considering the T-Rats just played a fantastic series with 7-2, 9-1, and 5-3 wins, enjoy all the highlights! *** ***

Unfortunately, neither Wisconsin nor Helena will be available for MiLB.TV highlights for the respective series they begin this evening.

Final: Idaho Falls 7, Helena 5 The team had to head on the bus to Ogden, so no early AM game summary, and Idaho Falls doesn't bother at all on their site. The Idaho Falls newspaper website is subscription only, so we're on our own this AM. Helena Box Score Brewers had 19 baserunners, so as is often the case in Pioneer League games, players were able to maintain their raw batting lines for the most part. Catcher Payton Henry (batting 3rd) and left fielder Nic Pierre were the two players with multiple hits, and they combined for all the team's XBH's, with Henry doubling twice and Pierre once. Helena Game Log Chukars only earned two of their seven runs because of this. Yuck. FIELDING E: Mallen (7, fielding); Henry (3, throw); Garcia (3, pickoff); Pinero (10, fielding); Martinez, Y (1, fielding); McClanahan (2, fielding).

Hey, this is fun! Final: Wisconsin 5, Great Lakes 3 Wisconsin Holds on to Sweep Loons Rattlers win at Great Lakes By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers The summary you'll read above includes this -- Wisconsin (36-54 overall, 10-12, second half) pounced on the Loons in the first inning as they scored four runs. Great Lakes starting pitcher AJ Alexy got the first out with a strikeout. The next three Rattlers reached base as Demi Orimoloye doubled, Mario Feliciano singled, and Weston Wilson walked. Tucker Neuhaus was next and he crushed a 3-2 pitch from Alexy off the wall in center to drive in all three runners. Neuhaus took third on the throw to the plate. Devin Hairston cashed in Neuhaus with a sacrifice fly to center to put the Rattlers up 4-0. VIDEO Evidence: *** VIDEO TWEET via @BrewerProspect: Josh Pennington two K's VIDEO TWEET via @BrewerProspect: Carlos Herrera back-to-back K's with change-up / slider. VIDEO TWEET via Chris Mehring: Final out of the game, be sure you read the summary to know the threatening 9th inning circumstances *** Wisconsin Box Score You never want to walk nine guys as a staff, but allowing only three hits help. Wonder how many Mariners' fans are keeping an eye of what Freddy Peralta and Carlos Herrera are up to. Wisconsin Game Log Focus on the top of the order. Nice bus ride to Lansing after the sweep!

Back-to-back nights -- Sky Sox, I-Cubs Postponed Due To Rain Game will be made up at a date to be determined Heavy rains have caused the postponement of Friday's game between the Colorado Springs Sky Sox and the Iowa Cubs.
