Ned Yost says Eric Gagné ’s stuff is the same as before he
went on the disabled list with a shoulder ailment in late May. But Gagné's command isn't the same. If his first two outings mean anything,
it's much better.
"He's throwing with much more command," said the Brewers' manager. "His stuff

In 20 outings, he compiled a 6.98 ERA, allowing 23 hits and 16 walks in 19 1/3
innings."

The return of Eric Gagne is being pushed back a little. The $10-million Milwaukee Brewers closer, or former closer, threw a 30-pitch bullpen session before Saturday's game after two rehabilitation assignments for Class AAA Nashville last week, and the evaluation wasn't overly glowing.

Gagne will be looked at today to see how he feels, and if he has a normal day-after recovery, he likely ..."

Reliever Eric Gagné pitched a simulated game during an early
workout, the final step before being cleared to report to Nashville on Tuesday
for a minor-league rehabilitation assignment. Gagné said the plan is to pitch Tuesday and Thursday for Nashville, and then
rejoin the Brewers next weekend in Minnesota. Yost already has said Gagné will
not return to the closer’s role when he is activated, not after Salomon
Torres has been so successful (10 for 10 in save chances) as his
replacement."
