Crew relievers Knebel, Smith progressing

ATLANTA -- Brewers fans have grown quite accustomed to seeing the bullpen, but they are getting close to seeing something they haven't yet in 2016 -- the bullpen at full strength.

Two injured members of the unit, Corey Knebel and Will Smith, were set to take steps in that direction Tuesday, with Knebel taking the mound to throw a bullpen at Turner Field, where the Braves opened a three-game series vs. the Brewers, and Smith pitching for Class A Advanced Brevard in a rehab assignment.

It's the third bullpen for Knebel, who went on the disabled list on April 1 with a left oblique injury suffered while closing out the March 31 spring game against Houston.
