CHICAGO -- Brewers officials read the weather reports just right when they moved Matt Garza's second rehab start to the Midwest League on Monday, keeping the right-hander on track to return to the team in some capacity later this week.
Garza, coming off a right groin strain, originally was slated to pitch again for Triple-A Colorado Springs at Nashville, but storms in the forecast prompted a move to the Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Clinton, Iowa. The decision proved wise when the game in Nashville was rained out.
"It was solely because of weather," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
