Milwaukee Brewers<br />
Added to 40-man roster: RHP Mike Fiers<br />
Fiers wasn't ranked before <strong>the</strong> season by Baseball America among <strong>the</strong> team's top-30 prospects, but he's made a<br />
name for himself after posting a 1.86 ERA and 132/36 K/BB ratio over 126 frames between <strong>the</strong> rotation and<br />
bullpen at Double- and Triple-A. A 22nd-round pick form Nova Sou<strong>the</strong>astern (Fla.) in ’09, Mike Fiers went on an<br />
incredible roll after shifting from <strong>the</strong> bullpen to <strong>the</strong> rotation at Double-A Huntsville in late May. In 18 starts for <strong>the</strong><br />
Sounds and Triple-A Nashville, he went 11-2, 1.43 with 111 whiffs in 107 innings. A strong finish enabled Fiers<br />
to come from behind to win <strong>the</strong> minor league ERA title at 1.86, narrowly edging out Rays lefty Matt Moore.<br />

Oakland Athletics<br />
Recalled: C Landon Powell<br />
Added to 40-man roster: OF Jai Miller<br />
Jai Miller batted .276/.368/.588 with 32 homers for Triple-A Sacramento and made <strong>the</strong> Pacific Coast <strong>League</strong>'s<br />
postseason all-star team. The homers were a career high for <strong>the</strong> 26-year-old, as were <strong>the</strong> 179 strikeouts (in 410<br />
