Brewers' Luke Barker: Contract selected by Milwaukee

Barker's contract was selected by the Brewers prior to the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

Barker has pitched in Nashville over the last two seasons, and he's posted a 2.69 ERA, 96:18 K:BB and 0.91 WHIP in 80.1 innings over 70 relief appearances with the Triple-A club. The right-hander hasn't yet made his major-league debut but will provide an additional option out of the bullpen during Monday's nightcap.
