Rickie to DL; Capellan Called Up

Rickie Weeks' wrist is acting up again and the Brewers have placed him on the 15 day disabled list. It's really too bad because when healthy Rickie is a pretty special player. Hopefully he can come back after 15 days but I'm not holding my breath. This injury doesn't seem to be going away. The Brewers are really going to miss him in the lineup because this means we'll be seeing more of Craig Counsell and Tony Graffanino.

The only good news to come out of this is Jose Capellan being called up. Capellan lost his spot in the bullpen to Greg Acquino, started complaining and was then passed over in favor of Chris Spurling to come to Milwaukee after Acquino went to the DL. Capellan posted a 3.86 ERA for Triple-A Nashville.
