Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said Mat Gamel is "ready to go" after having his surgically-repaired right knee examined Sunday.
Gamel had ACL surgery in May but hasn't encountered any hiccups during his rehab. The 27-year-old is expected to serve as the club's regular first baseman for the first couple months of the season while Corey Hart recovers from a knee surgery of his own. After that, Gamel will slide into a roving backup role at first and third base, as well as the corner outfield spots.
