Milwaukee Brewers prospect roundup: Corey Knebel begins rehab

It was a pretty unique day of baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers’ farm. There was a suspension, a walk-off, and two big leagues rehabbing injuries.

On Thursday, May 3, the Milwaukee Brewers had an off day. However, their minor league teams all played and those of whom that finished their games all took home a victory. One game has yet to be decided due to a unique minor league rule. Here’s the roundup…

Single-A

F/11 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 11, Lake County Captains 7

• The teams were tied at four at the end of the ninth but, thanks to the new extra-innings rules, Wisconsin was able to score seven runs over the next two frames and Lake County just couldn’t keep up.
