Brewers' Garrett Stallings: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Stallings to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Stallings struck out four batters across three shutout innings during his two appearances with the big club, but he'll end up as the odd man out of Milwaukee's pitching staff following Logan Henderson's (back) return from the injured list. Stallings owns a 3.36 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 67 innings in the minors, and his strong first impression in the majors figures to increase his chances of returning to the Brewers' bullpen later in the year.

The Brewers recalled Stallings from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
The right-hander is getting his first promotion to the majors after posting a 3.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 61:22 K:BB across 67 innings for Nashville this season. Stallings has started in 12 of his 17 appearances at Triple-A this year, but he's likely to work out of the bullpen with the big club.

Brewers' Garrett Stallings: Dealt to Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Brewers acquired Stallings from the Orioles on Saturday in exchange for right-handers Thyago Vieira and Aneuris Rodriguez.
Stallings has spent all season with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk, posting a 5.67 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 27 innings. He hasn't found much success at any minor-league level he's pitched at and doesn't figure to be in line for a call to the majors anytime soon, but he'll give the Brewers organizational depth at Triple-A Nashville.
