Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Back in lineup Friday
Mitchell (neck) will start in center field and bat seventh in Friday's game against the Orioles.

Brewers' Colton Gordon: Added to Milwaukee bullpen
The Brewers recalled Gordon from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
The Brewers needed a fresh relief arm after their bullpen was needed for 6.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the Pirates. Gordon will be on five days' rest after throwing 5.2 innings and 97 pitches in a start for Nashville last Saturday, so he'll be available for plenty of length, if needed.

Brewers' Garrett Stallings: Sent back to Nashville
The Brewers optioned Stallings to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Stallings fanned six over three shutout innings in Thursday's loss to the Pirates. Because he wouldn't have been available to pitch for at least a day or two, the Brewers are replacing him on the roster with a fresh bullpen arm.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Early hook vs. Pirates
Harrison (10-5) took the loss Thursday against the Pirates, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.
Harrison's struggles continued in his return to the Brewers' rotation. After turning in a scoreless first inning, the southpaw imploded in the second as Pittsburgh put up a five spot. Harrison has now given up a staggering 21 earned runs across just nine frames in his last four appearances. His ERA is up to 4.25 through 112.1 innings this season with a 1.34 WHIP and 136:35 K:BB. Given his difficulties Thursday, Harrison figures to return to Milwaukee's bullpen down the stretch and may not be guaranteed a place on the postseason roster.

Brewers' Luis Lara: Gaining foothold in lineup
Lara will start in center field and bat second in Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Lara will stick in the starting nine for a fourth straight game and will cover center for the second day in a row while Garrett Mitchell (neck) remains banged up. Once Mitchell is back in action, Lara could end up seeing regular reps in right field over Sal Frelick, who has posted a lowly .506 OPS since returning from the injured list Aug. 25. During that same stretch, Lara is slashing .263/.317/.298 with one stolen base, nine runs and eight RBI over 17 games.

Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Activated and DFA'd
The Brewers activated Zastryzny (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and designated him for assignment, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Zastryzny has not pitched in the majors this season, having been limited to 13 rehab appearances across multiple stints as he dealt with intercostal and shoulder injuries. The lefty finally appears to be healthy now, but the Brewers decided they didn't have room for him on their active roster.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Up to 28 saves
Megill earned the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Pirates, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Megill made quick work of the Pirates on Wednesday, needing just eight pitches to close out a one-run victory and lock down his 28th save this year. It was certainly an encouraging showing from Megill, who had been a bit shaky of late, allowing three runs on six hits across 2.1 frames in his previous three appearances. Overall, the right-hander sports a 2.50 ERA with a 0.90 WHIP and 65:15 K:BB across 57.2 innings this season.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Goes five innings vs. Pirates
Henderson didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out eight.
While Henderson had his strikeout stuff working Wednesday, he was hurt by the long ball. After blanking Pittsburgh through three innings, Henderson gave up a solo shot to Oneil Cruz in the fourth before Brandon Lowe tied the game 3-3 with a two-run blast in the fifth. Coming into the day, the 24-year-old right-hander had not given up more than two runs in any of his previous five outings -- he posted a stellar 1.41 ERA with a 0.56 WHIP across 32 innings during that span. Overall, Henderson sports a 2.51 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 96:16 K:BB across 17 starts (93.1 innings) this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

Pratt (illness) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Pirates.
Pratt didn't participate in Tuesday's game due to illness, but he feels well enough a day later to give it a go. The rookie shortstop is slashing .273/.341/.369 with three home runs and 13 stolen bases in his first 64 big-league contests.
