Crew ponders September callup for Jungmann

MILWAUKEE -- Brewers officials are mulling the merits of a September callup for Taylor Jungmann, the former first-round Draft pick who began this season as Milwaukee's No. 3 starter but struggled so badly he was demoted to the Minors.

Jungmann has been on a roll at Double-A Biloxi, posting a 1.13 ERA and a .507 opponents' OPS over his last six starts. In his most recent outing Tuesday, Jungmann pitched eight scoreless innings on three hits, with no walks and eight strikeouts.

"Reports on Taylor are positive, especially after his last outing," Brewers general manager David Stearns said.
