SAN FRANCISCO -- Right-hander Michael Blazek is expected to rejoin the Brewers in Los Angeles on Friday before being activated from the disabled list at some point thereafter.
Blazek, on the DL with a right elbow impingement, felt fine physically after his brief outing with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday, when he allowed two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning. He will make one more appearance in the Minor Leagues on Thursday before joining the Brewers in Los Angeles as they face the Dodgers in a four-game series.
"He's fine," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "Health-wise, he came out of it really good. He was just a little uncomfortable with his delivery, so he's going to pitch again. Then he'll join us Friday in L.A., most likely."
Counsell did not announce a definitive date on which the Brewers will activate the righty.
The 27-year-old reliever has been on the DL retroactive to May 29, one day after retiring only two batters while allowing five runs in the Brewers' 7-6 loss to the Reds.
Blazek is 3-1 with a 4.13 ERA in 25 appearances this season. He has 21 strikeouts in 24 innings, though he's walked 16 -- two shy of his total for the entire 2015 season.
