Crow (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
It appears to be the first time Crow has faced hitters since he went down with a right flexor strain in mid-June. He should be ready for a rehab assignment soon. Crow's last appearance for the Brewers before getting hurt was in relief, but he could join the Triple-A Nashville rotation once activated from the 15-day injured list.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Resuming mound work
Rotowire
Crow (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It appears to be the first time Crow has thrown off the bump since he suffered a mild right flexor strain earlier this month. Crow should be ready for a rehab assignment before long, but he might be sent to Triple-A Nashville rather than rejoin the big-league club once he's deemed ready for activation.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Forearm strain deemed mild
Rotowire
Crow said Sunday that an MRI on his right forearm revealed a mild flexor strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Milwaukee placed Crow on the 15-day injured list Friday, three days after he shifted to the bullpen and made a two-inning relief appearance in the Brewers' 7-5 loss to the Athletics. Crow still appears likely to miss more than the minimum amount of time, but since his injury is considered mild, he's expected to avoid a prolonged shutdown. The Brewers are likely still planning on developing the right-hander as a starter, so he could end up joining the rotation at Triple-A Nashville once he's activated from the IL.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Crow on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with a right forearm flexor strain.
Crow pitched two shutout innings during his last outing Tuesday against the A's, but he appears to have come away from his appearance with forearm problems. He'll be forced to miss at least the next two weeks as a result, and the Brewers will recall Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville to fill the open spot in their bullpen.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Shifts to bullpen
Rotowire
Crow permitted one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings of relief Tuesday in the Brewers' 7-5 loss to the Athletics.
After he had made his first four big-league appearances as a starter, Crow shifted to the bullpen this week while Milwaukee elected to move forward with Robert Gasser and Shane Drohan as the back-end members of the five-man rotation. Though Crow fared well in his first relief outing, the Brewers aren't likely to pull the plug on developing him as a starter just yet. With that in mind, Crow could sent back to Triple-A Nashville in the near future so that he can continue working out of the rotation.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Season-worst start in first loss
Rotowire
Crow (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Giants, allowing six runs on nine hits and nine walks in 2.1 innings. He struck out two.
Crow labored Thursday in what was his shortest outing of the year, giving up a trio of runs in the first and third innings. The nine hits and six runs allowed were both season-worst marks as well. Crow has an uninspiring 5.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 16.2 frames, and the expectation is that Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will take his place in Milwaukee's rotation once healthy.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Making another start Thursday
Rotowire
Crow is slated to start Thursday's game against the Giants at American Family Field.
Crow will be awarded a second straight turn through the rotation after he took a no-decision in a four-inning start versus the Astros last Friday following his promotion from Triple-A Nashville. The 25-year-old righty has made three starts thus over three separate stints with Milwaukee, pitching to a 3.14 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB in 14.1 innings.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Goes four innings Friday
Rotowire
Crow didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Astros, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks with one strikeout across four innings.
With Logan Henderson (back) placed on the injured list earlier in the week, Crow got the promotion and made his third start of the season for Milwaukee. He wasn't particularly effective against Houston, generating five swinging strikes on 61 pitches while surrendering three extra-base hits, including a solo homer to Cam Smith. Crow has yet to throw more than 77 pitches in any of his three outings and now owns a 3.14 ERA and 8:3 K:BB across 14.1 big-league innings this season.
Crow is slated to start Friday's game against the Astros in Houston, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.
Milwaukee recalled Crow from Triple-A Nashville earlier Tuesday as the corresponding move to Logan Henderson landing on the 15-day injured list due to a low back strain. Crow will wind up taking Henderson's spot in the rotation in what will be the former's third start of the season with Milwaukee. The 25-year-old right-hander wasn't able to pick up a win in either of his first two starts, but he pitched effectively in road outings versus the Marlins and Twins, covering a combined 10.1 innings while striking out seven and yielding three runs on seven hits and one walk.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Recalled, could start Wednesday
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Crow from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Milwaukee had optioned Crow to Nashville a week and a half ago, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club in fewer than 15 days after the Brewers placed Logan Henderson (back) on the injured list in a corresponding move. Since he had been on the same pitching schedule as Henderson, Crow is a logical choice to take over Henderson's turn in the rotation when it comes up again in Wednesday's series finale versus the Cardinals. Crow has previously made a pair of starts for Milwaukee this season, posting a 2.61 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB across 10.1 innings between the two outings.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Optioned to Nashville
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Crow to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
The Brewers won't need Crow's services beyond the spot start he made Friday, so they'll send him back to the minors in favor of Peter Strzelecki, who will provide extra bullpen depth. There's still a strong chance Crow will be promoted for future starts this year, however, as he owns a 2.61 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 10.1 innings through his first two starts in the majors.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Takes no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Crow didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 win over the Twins, allowing one earned run on three hits and zero walks while striking out three batters across five-plus innings.
Crow excelled at limiting traffic against Minnesota, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning. The lone blemish against him came after he gave up back-to-back singles to begin the sixth, enabling Brooks Lee to drive in a run while grounding into a double play. Crow now boasts a 2.61 ERA and 0.77 WHIP two starts into his MLB career, and although his outing Friday was likely just another spot start, he's done well enough in a Brewers uniform to remain in consideration for more starts in the future.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Recalled to start Friday's game
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Crow from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Crow will be the starting pitcher in Friday's series opener in Minnesota. The rookie right-hander held his own in a spot start earlier this season, logging 5.1 innings while yielding two runs. It could be just another spot start for Crow, who has posted a 4.70 ERA and 34:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings this season with Nashville.
The Brewers list Harrison (wrist/knee) as their probable starter for Tuesday's series opener in Detroit.
Harrison had been lined up to make a start this weekend in Miami, but the Brewers ended up pushing the southpaw back in their pitching schedule while he continued to tend to a sore left wrist and knee discomfort coming out of his previous outing April 11. Per MLB.com, Harrison completed a bullpen session Saturday, and with the 24-year-old apparently checking out fine following the workout, he'll be cleared to rejoin the rotation. Milwaukee called up Coleman Crow to make a spot start Friday in Harrison's stead, but Crow has since been optioned back to Triple-A Nashville.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Rodriguez has had a rough go of things in the minors this year, allowing 10 earned runs in just 10.1 innings during his three starts at Nashville. Despite his cold start and career 6.95 ERA in the big leagues, the Brewers will allow him to rejoin their pitching staff to presumably work as a long reliever. Coleman Crow was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
