J.C. Mejía - Begins rehab assignment Mejia (suspension) began a rehab assignment with Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Impact Mejia has been out since mid-May after violating the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. He'll be eligible to return in mid-August, but he'd only made a pair of major-league appearances prior to his ban, so he could remain in the minors once activated.

Trevor Rosenthal - Traded to Brewers Rosenthal (hamstring) was traded from the Giants to the Brewers on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers GM David Stearns said the team is targeting late August for Rosenthal's debut. The veteran right-hander missed last season after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome and has recently dealt with hamstring soreness after signing with the Giants on July 21.

Luis Perdomo - Activated, optioned to Triple-A Milwaukee reinstated Perdomo (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.
Impact Perdomo has recovered from the injury that has sidelined him since late May, but he won't immediately reclaim a spot in the Brewers bullpen. He threw the ball well while making seven rehab appearances with Nashville, and if he keeps that up, he could rejoin the big club at some point before the season ends.

Jandel Gustave - Goes on injured list The Brewers placed Gustave on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right forearm discomfort.
Impact Gustave likely picked up the injury at some point during his most recent relief appearance Sunday in Boston. The right-hander has mostly handled low-leverage work out of the bullpen this season and has turned in a 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over his first 28 innings of the campaign.

Freddy Peralta - Rejoining rotation Wednesday Peralta (lat) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday to start against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Brewers clearly didn't trade for Peralta, but he has not appeared in a game with the big club since May 22, so he can partly be viewed as a big post-deadline addition. Peralta threw only 52 pitches in his last rehab start, so he probably isn't ready for a full workload just yet. However, he should be back at full strength within a matter of weeks.
