Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that Garza will remain in the team's rotation for the time being, putting the right-hander in line to start Sunday against the Nationals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garza lasted just 3.1 innings and gave up six runs (three earned) in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals, following his trend of poor form in the second half. Over eight starts since the All-Star break, Garza has submitted an ugly 6.32 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 24:24 K:BB over 37 innings, putting his standing in the rotation on shaky ground. The Brewers are expected to recall Brandon Woodruff from Triple-A Colorado Springs to start Saturday against the Nationals, and if he performs well in that outing and Garza struggles in his subsequent turn Sunday, Counsell may revisit his plans for the starting staff. Brent Suter (shoulder) is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list within the next week, which would offer the Brewers another alternative to Garza.
