Brewers optioned LHP Sam Narron and OF Nelson Cruz to Triple-A Nashville and reassigned INF Matt Erickson to minor league camp.
Narron was limited by elbow tightness at the start of camp and had allowed five runs in one inning over two appearances. He could be a bullpen candidate later in the season. Cruz, acquired in the Keith Ginter trade with Oakland, was 3-for-20 with a homer and an 8/1 K/BB ratio.
