Unfortunately for the Brewers, Weeks' blast was their lone tally on the night. The longball was the second baseman's first this month and just his third of the season. Weeks upped his average to a depressing .187 with the 1-for-3 showing.

It's a move made in order to clear 40-man roster space for Francisco Rodriguez. Green is out for the season after undergoing hip surgery last month.

Lalli batted just .125/.125/.125 over 24 at-bats with the big club. He's being sent down in order to clear room for the arrival of Francisco Rodriguez.

Hart has begun running recently without assistance, but he's just not going to be far enough along in a couple weeks to be activated from the 60-day DL. The first baseman is more likely to return within the first couple weeks of June.

The left-hander should be ready for a rehab assignment after that. Assuming all goes well, it sounds like Narveson might be ready to return before the end of the month.

Rodriguez's minor league deal required that the Brewers make a decision by Wednesday whether to add him the roster. The 31-year-old struck out seven over four scoreless innings in the minors and could work his way into the late innings for Milwaukee.

Braun sat out Monday's game with neck tightness, an issue that has plagued him off and on through the early part of the season, but he was back in the lineup producing on Tuesday. The neck issue is something he may continue to deal with as the season progresses, but he's been able to play through it for the most part thus far. It's something to monitor, but it's no reason to downgrade Braun for the time being.
