The Brewers optioned Fitzpatrick to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Fitzpatrick offered a mixed bag in his first-ever stint in the majors, allowing just two runs (one earned) but with a 4:3 K:BB and seven hits allowed over 5.2 frames. He's clearing off the roster to make room for Coleman Crow, who will start Friday's game in Minnesota.

Rotowire
The Brewers selected Fitzpatrick's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Fitzpatrick had been off to a terrific start with Nashville, allowing just two unearned runs with an 11:2 K:BB over 10.1 innings. He'll receive his first call to the big leagues as a replacement in the Milwaukee bullpen for fellow left-hander Angel Zerpa (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list.
