Following Friday's win over the Marlins, the Brewers confirmed what seemed obvious for Sunday's; starter Yovani Gallardo's ankle will keep him off the mound for his next start.
Manager Ron Roenicke told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jimmy Nelson will take the ball for Sunday's series finale instead of Gallardo, though there is no indication Gallardo will require a disabled list trip. Gallardo is likely to miss just the one start, so it is not clear what the move to open a roster spot for Nelson will entail.
Nelson is one of the team's top prospects, and has been dealing at the Triple-A level this season. He has a 1.71 ERA in 58 innings of work, while striking out 58 batters and walking just 17.
