As I speculated this morning, the Milwaukee Brewers placed Mike Rivera on the 15-day DL and called up Carlos Corporan from Triple-A Nashville.

Corporan is not known for his offense, but has hit .333 in limited time in Nashville thus far in 2009.  He is widely regarded as the best defensive catcher in the Brewers' system and has an absolute cannon behind the dish.

Rivera saw the doctor today and was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle.  It was obviously bad enough that Milwaukee thought it prudent to place the backup catcher on the 15-day DL.

Corporan will join the Brewers in time for tomorrow night's game against Arizona.
