The Brewers have shaken up their pitching staff before Saturday night’s game against the Pirates, optioning Colin Rea to Triple-A Nashville and recalling Clayton Andrews.

The 33-year-old has largely been a respectable back-of-the-rotation arm throughout that stretch, but a season-high six earned runs allowed against the Pirates on Friday night bloated his ERA to 5.
