Milwaukee Brewers all set to rise with the activation of players - MLB Update
The Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke on Friday, June 22, was upbeat with the arrival of the main players back in the team. Plagued by injuries, several of the Brewers players were reduced to the disabled list, creating a heap of problem both offensively
and defensively.
However, much as the phase remained difficult for the Brewers, it now appears their problems are gradually receding, allowing the strength and fitness to characterize the formation of the Brewers.
The one who has now made his comeback in the team is Cesar Izturis. Add to the list, who are progressing, the likes of Jose Veras, Travis Ishikawa and Jonathan Lucroy. This will go a long way to overcome – what seemed, a bit of lacklustre performance by
the Brewers lately.
While every player retains his importance in the team, Ron Roenicke spoke of Lucroy who is impatiently awaiting reactivation so that he can start giving his best to the line-up. In the team manager’s view, things are now picking up for the Brewers.
"I think anytime you have guys coming back -- Lucroy just got the pin taken out yesterday, he's raring to go, wants to start catching bullpen so that's a good sign -- I think things are picking up."
The performance by Ishikawa in the Triple-A Nashville has brightened the possibility of his making first appearance in the game on Saturday. He was able to play all nine innings in the game, effectively putting an end to all doubts on his return.
Jose Veras is also said to be all set for rejoining the team after his injury. With the workout he has had lately, there are hopes that he might well be pitching by the end of the week, something that the Milwaukee Brewers will, understandably, enthusiastically
cheer.
"The starters have been really good lately," Roenicke said. "Hopefully, that'll continue, keep away from any more injuries, and we should be OK."
With the reactivation of all these players, the Brewers will come forward as an essentially transformed side, all strengthened and bolstered to take on the rival teams in the league
