AUDIO via the Timber Rattlers Pre-Game Show: "Rick Tomlin, the Minor League Pitching Coordinator for the Milwaukee Brewers, is the guest for tonight's Potawatomi Hotel & Casino Pregame Show. He talks about Trey Supak, Thomas Jankins, Corbin Burnes, Taylor Williams, Jorge Lopez, and more."

21-year-old RHP David Burkhalter will make his first appearance since June 7th tonight, as he's scheduled to be the back-half of the Timber Rattlers tandem. An elbow strain sidelined him last year, and he avoided surgery via rehab.

Write-up here from the Shuckers.

AUDIO via the City of Biloxi: Although not player-specific in any way, this 26-minute interview with the Voice of the Shuckers, Chris Harris, is a fine listen if you're simply a fan of the operation aspect of a minor league team (start at the 03:30 minute mark) -- and the interviewer is enthusiastic and sounds like somebody you might want to hang with...

Here's the trade that was replaced by Thursday's Victor Roache move to the Dodgers within the initial post in this thread: Dodgers (12/18/14) -- Brewers acquired LHP Jarret Martin and OF/IF Matt Long in exchange for C Shawn Zarraga And yes, just two and a half years later, none of the three are currently playing affiliated ball (Zarraga did play for the Netherlands in the WBC this spring).

Go to the 06:20 minute mark to revisit the podcast you listened to yesterday via Thursday's Link Report. That's the point in the interview where the injury-related discussion commences. Bringing this up now, because the Brewers have made the following moves official: Drossner and Dalton Brown have been moved to Maryvale (Helena's paper roster) to continue rehabbing DL stints there instead of Wisconsin. Diaz goes on the 7-day Timber Rattlers DL retroactive to May 3rd. Burkhalter formally joins the Rattlers from extended spring training.

Not a formal transaction, McCalvy's update Bickford has hand surgery

Thanks, covered pretty extensively throughout Wednesday's Link Report.
