Brewers' Chad Sobotka: Outrighted to Triple-A
Sobotka was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Sobotka had been pitching for the Triple-A club recently, but his removal from the 40-man roster will make room for Ryan Weber, who was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move. The right-hander has made five relief appearances for Triple-A Nashville this year and has posted a 4.91 ERA and 2.81 WHIP in 3.2 innings.

Brewers' Chad Sobotka: Debuts for new organization
Sobotka (illness) has appeared in two games for Triple-A Nashville so far in June, working scoreless innings Thursday and Sunday.
The Brewers acquired Sobotka from Atlanta back on April 6, but he didn't make his organizational debut until nearly two months later after he battled a sinus infection prior to the start of the minor-league season in early May. Now healthy, Sobotka will likely need to impress out of the Nashville bullpen over a handful of outings before Milwaukee considers calling him up.
