The most shocking move was the removal of Jhoulys Chacin from the Milwaukee Brewers 40 man roster. Chacin was designated for assignment after spending the past few weeks on the injured list. That move cleared room for Cory Spangenberg to get his contract selected from Triple-A.
To make room on the 25 man roster for Spangenberg, outfielder Ben Gamel was optioned to Triple-A.

This was news that no one really expected, especially given the Brewers current lack of starting pitching depth.
