Brewers sent RHP Mark DiFelice outright to Triple-A Nashville. DiFelice made it back to the major leagues this season after missing all of 2010 following shoulder surgery, but was shut down in late-June after renewed soreness. Now 35 years old, his future is very much in doubt.

Mark DiFelice was placed on Triple-A Nashville's disabled list Tuesday with shoulder soreness. It's especially notable because DiFelice missed all of last year following shoulder surgery. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined, but we would guess it will be for a while.

Brewers optioned RHP Mark DiFelice to Triple-A Nashville. He gave up four runs in three innings over the last week. DiFelice returns to a 2.57 ERA in 10 games -- three starts -- for Nashville. Of bigger note to fantasy players: Mat Gamel is widely expected to be called up by the Brewers on Monday to replace DiFelice on the active roster.

Brewers purchased the contract of RHP Mark DiFelice from Triple-A Nashville. DiFelice is up to help out a battered bullpen that had to pitch seven innings Friday. He could also be an option to fill in for Shaun Marcum (back) next week if Marcum is unable to make his start. DiFelice posted a 2.57 ERA in 10 games -- three starts -- for Nashville.

The Brewers are likely to call up Mark DiFelice from Triple-A Nashville to help out in the bullpen. The Brew Crew needs a fresh arm after Shaun Marcum lasted just one inning Friday before departing with a hip injury. It's also possible DiFelice could wind up with a start next week if Marcum need and extended absence. The righty has posted a 2.57 ERA in 10 games -- three starts -- for Nashville.
