Brewers' DL Hall: Shifts back to bullpen
DL Hall made appearances out of the bullpen in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Diamondbacks and in Sunday's 10-9 win in the series finale with Arizona, giving up four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four in 3.1 innings between the two outings.Hall made a spot start last Sunday -- also against the Diamondbacks -- but shifted back to the bullpen while the Milwaukee Brewers scaled back to a five-man rotation. The southpaw could be a candidate to make another spot start during the final week of the regular season if the Brewers' postseason seeding is solidified and the team wants to prioritize ordering its rotation for the playoffs.

Brewers' DL Hall: Roughed up in short start
DL Hall did not factor into the decision during Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four in three innings.Four singles in the first inning led to two runs for the Diamondbacks. They would score three more in the third with just one hit after Hall loaded the bases and Pavin Smith cleared them with a double. It was a step backwards for Hall, who was working on 12.2 scoreless innings across his last three appearances coming into Sunday. He's shown upside at times but owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 38:20 K:BB in 36.2 innings. It's possible he gets another start, but he'll likely return to a relief role for now.

Brewers' DL Hall: Starting Sunday vs. Arizona
DL Hall is listed as the Milwaukee Brewers' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.Hall logged 5.2 innings across two relief appearances since joining the Brewers as a September call-up, and Sunday will mark his first start since he tossed seven scoreless frames in Cincinnati on Aug. 30. Hall has the potential to look excellent on the right day, but he's struggled to stay healthy for prolonged stretches while working as a traditional starter. Arizona's team .787 OPS against lefties ranks second in baseball behind Philadelphia (.800 OPS), so Hall will carry some risk as a streaming option.

Brewers' DL Hall: Joins club as September call-up
The Milwaukee Brewers recalled DL Hall from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.Hall rejoined the Brewers in short order after he was briefly returned to the minors following his spot start in the second game of Friday's doubleheader with the Reds. Since he tossed seven scoreless innings for Milwaukee in the 14-0 win, Hall presumably won't be available for another couple of days, but once he's recovered from Friday's start, he'll likely operate as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. Milwaukee has a pair of off days coming up Thursday and Sept. 9, but with the club finishing the regular season with a stretch of 19 games in 20 days, it's possible that Hall picks up some starts as part of a six-man rotation.

Brewers' DL Hall: Returned to Nashville
The Milwaukee Brewers returned DL Hall to Triple-A Nashville after Friday's doubleheader versus the Reds, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Hall turned in what was by far his best start of the season during the Brewers' 14-0 victory in the nightcap of the doubleheader, claiming the win while making it through seven innings without allowing a run and tallying five strikeouts. However, since he was designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, he'll have to at least temporarily head back to the minors. The 25-year-old southpaw could return to Milwaukee to boost its pitching depth once rosters expand Sunday.

Brewers' DL Hall: Blanks Reds in first win
DL Hall (1-1) earned the win against Cincinnati in the second game of Friday's doubleheader, allowing four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.Hall was excellent in just his second big-league start since April. In two spot starts this month, the southpaw has allowed just one earned run while racking up 14 strikeouts over 11.2 innings. Overall, Hall sports a 4.82 ERA on the season with a 1.75 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB across 28 innings. While he figures to head back to Triple-A after the twin bill, he figures to be the first man up should the Milwaukee Brewers need rotation help down the stretch.

Brewers' DL Hall: Sent back to minors
The Milwaukee Brewers optioned DL Hall to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.Hall had some good moments in his return from the 60-day injured list Sunday, as he struck out a career-high nine batters while allowing three runs over 4.2 innings in a spot start against the Reds. However, the Brewers will stick with a five-man rotation moving forward, so Hall will head back to Nashville and stay stretched out while he waits for a starting spot to open up.

Brewers' DL Hall: Records career-high nine Ks
DL Hall struck out nine and didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Reds while allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks.Hall made his first big-league appearance since going on the shelf in late April with a sprained left knee and came out firing. Through three scoreless innings, Hall had punched out six batters, but he got a little wild in the fourth frame. He allowed Spencer Steer to steal a base on a wild pitch, walked Stuart Fairchild on six pitches and hit TJ Friedl with a pitch as part of a two-run inning for Cincinnati. He bounced back by retiring the first two batters of the fifth frame but was yanked after surrendering a solo home run to Tyler Stephenson and issuing a walk to Steer. The Milwaukee Brewers haven't clarified what Hall's role will look like moving forward, as the club already has five healthy starting pitchers and would have to expand the rotation to six men to open up a regular spot for him. The left-hander could be a candidate to serve in a multi-inning relief role if the Brewers opt not to make him a fixture in the rotation, and he also has minor-league options remaining if the organization prefers to have him stay on a starter's schedule at Triple-A Nashville.
