Small was optioned Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Small covered three innings behind starter Freddy Peralta on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits. The lefty's ERA now sits at 15.00, and he was going to be unavailable for a few days after Friday's outing, so it only makes sense that the Brewers would swap him out for a fresh arm. Jake Cousins was recalled in a corresponding move.
