Post-season paperwork reported by Baseball America:

Reinstated from DL: RHP Chad Robinson, RHP Mark Rogers, RHP Derrick Turnbow, C Eric Munson, 3B Taylor Green, OF Lorenzo Cain, OF Stephen Chapman

Reinstated from inactive list: LHP Chris Narveson, 1B Ned Yost

So Ned Yost was officially on the Inactive List while coaching in Helena this summer.

I'll work towards tidying up these loose ends...

That's nice of the Brewers, as it's far from free to fly Komatsu to WV and I assume, back home. Considering they owe WV nothing, and their affiliation is over except the phone call, it's a nice touch, I assume for the players.

Do we know what Peralta's injury is, or if he's even actually injured?

From the Power:

RHP Wily Peralta has been placed on the disabled list and OF Erik Komatsu has been promoted from Helena to take his spot on the roster.

Another bat to assist against the tough Augusta staff.

Someone might take a flyer on Lou, especially since they can send him back through waivers and hope he clears either right away or when teams set their offseason 40's. Catching is very weak, and Lou at least doesn't embarrass himself at the plate like many C's.

The main issue with Lou though is his injury. It was first reported that it was similar to Yo's and Yo came back -- Lou didn't and it turned out to be more serious. A leg injury to a catcher is...

Unless he impressed some team with his velocity late in the year when he was OK out of the bullpen, Gardner should return.

As most of you have seen in this Major League Forum thread, catcher Lou Palmisano was designated for assignment to make room for Mike Lamb.

Should Palmisano clear waivers, the Brewers would still own his rights through 2009.

If Palmisano were to impress next year, he could be re-added to the 40-man late next season, and thus the Brewers could...

Journal-Sentinel:

Brewers minor-league outfielder Cole Gillespie will have surgery today to repair a fractured sesamoid bone in his right big toe. Foot specialist Richard Marks will perform the surgery, and Gillespie expects to be ready for the start of next spring training. Gillespie, a third-round pick out of Oregon State in 2006, hit .281 with 14 home runs and 79 RBI in 131 games with Class AA Huntsville this season.

Nashville RHP Richie Gardner designated for assignment.

If he clears waivers, he would have to accept a minor league assignment for 2009 with the Brewers.

At least we think so. When you're designated more than once (as Gardner was before by the Reds when the Brewers claimed him), you have the option of choosing minor league free agency. But...

LHP Chris Narveson was placed on the Temp Inacive List to make room for Mark DiFelice. Certainly the minors allow for "creative" roster management.

DiFelice looks to get a start before returning to MIL.

Looks like Nashville had to make a move to make room for Mark DiFelice. We'll know later today.

Tennessean:

On the move: Nashville pitcher Mark DiFelice was activated from the disabled list prior to Wednesday's game. DiFelice retired all six hitters he faced in the seventh and eighth innings.

The right-hander went on the DL after suffering a back injury during his Aug. 12 start.

To make room for newcomer Brent Krause, Huntsville officially placed Lorenzo Cain on its DL.

The Atlantic League schedule extends deep into September, while the American Association season is over. Atlantic League teams will often acquire top players who have ended their seasons in one of the five other independent leagues, and players will seek trades if they wish to extend their seasons.

As for the trade taking place and the Brewers jumping in, when these indy league signings happen, they happen fast.

That's interesting. According to this article, Krause was traded to another indy league team, the Southern Maryland Blue Claws, yesterday after the Saints' season ended. I wonder what happened there.

Hey, I got one of the two moves right!

But if Wilson is injured (and Green is named the PTBNL) then that throws a wrench in the other half of the prediction.
