NL Central Transaction Sunday Night: 9/13

9/6/20: Released 1B Justin Smoak.

No 40-man roster change here, as Smoak had already been DFAd on September 3rd. The Brewers are responsible for the rest of his prorated $4 million salary, plus a $1 million buyout for his 2021 option.

9/8/20: Optioned UT Mark Mathias to the ATS. Activated RHP Corey Knebel from the 10-day IL.

Knebel was placed on the IL on August 20th with a hamstring strain after allowing four homers over 6.2 IP in 9 games.
