Milwaukee Brewers Send Gindl Back To Triple A Nashville

July 1, 2013

After a 10-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night, the Milwaukee Brewers optioned outfielder Caleb Gindl of Molino back to Triple-A Nashville and recalled right-hander Tyler Thornburg.

Gindl was called up on June 15 after Ryan Braun was placed on the disabled list with an injured thumb. He had five hits in 19 at-bats, appearing in nine games. The Brewers promoted him after placing left fielder Ryan Braun on the 15-day disabled list.

Back in Nashville Sunday, Gindl snapped tie between the Sounds and the Oklahoma City RedHawks by hitting his ninth home run of the season. The solo shot to right field put the Nashville Sounds up 4-3 on their way to a 5-3 victory.

Gindl, 24, was a Brewers’ fifth-round Draft pick in 2007 out of Pace High School, and he was 22 when he debuted in Triple-A in 2011. He had been waiting there patiently for a promotion. Gindl was batting .274 at Nashville with eight home runs and a team-best 38 RBIs. He hit .364 over his last 10 games.

    He’s back in the big leagues again with the brewers. He’s in Arizona playing against the diamondbacks. He hit 294 while he was back down in the minors.
