Probably old news by now, but I just got back from lunch...per cbs.sportsline.com:
Brewers to promote Gallardo
Yovani Gallardo, SP MIL
News: According to MLB.com, the Brewers will promote Yovani Gallardo, their top pitching prospect, to replace the injured Chris Capuano (groin) on the roster. A roster move is expected after Thursday's afternoon game at Detroit.
Analysis: Gallardo, 21, is 8-3 with a 2.90 ERA in 13 starts for Triple-A Nashville, and he leads all of minor league baseball with 110 strikeouts. If the Brewers can avoid using him out of the bullpen this weekend in Minnesota, Gallardo would make his major league debut Monday against the San Francisco Giants at Miller Park. Now is the time to add him in any and all leagues, as he's one of those 'next big thing' types.
