Manny Pina caught each of the Brewers’ first two games in Pittsbugh as the Pirates sent out two lefties to start the series.
It turns out he won’t be able to play in the series finale after taking a foul ball off the hand, so the team is activating another catcher — Jacob Nottingham off the unnanounced-but-we-can-see-who-is-in-the-dugout taxi squad — to provide another body behind the plate. With the Pirates starting a righty in Joe Musgrove tonight, Omar Narvaez will presumably get the start.
To make room for Nottingham on the 30-man roster, the Brewers sent Bobby Wahl back to Appleton.
