Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Friday that Manny Parra (shoulder) will likely be unavailable this weekend. Parra hasn't pitched since last Tuesday due to a left shoulder impingement. He had his shoulder examined Thursday and is scheduled to be re-evaluated Monday. While he's feeling better every day, it's still possible he could wind up on the disabled list.

Manny Parra (shoulder) is not expected to need a stint on the disabled list after being examined by team physician William Raasch Wednesday. Parra has already sat out a week and won't pitch until at least next Monday, but evidently the Brewers think that will likely be enough rest. "It's way better but he still has a little bit of irritation there," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "They talked about kind of checking things out again on Monday."

Manny Parra will have his ailing left shoulder examined by a team doctor. Parra hasn't pitched since last Tuesday due to shoulder irritation. If the doctor's report isn't favorable, he could be headed for the disabled list.

Manny Parra is currently sidelined due with left shoulder irritation. Parra gave up four runs on one hit (a home run) and three walks over just one-third of an inning in his last appearance on July 24. It's not clear if he'll be placed on the disabled list.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke indicated that Manny Parra is likely to take Marco Estrada's (quad) spot in the rotation. "Maybe we'll try to piggyback somebody with (Parra)," Roenicke said. "We'll make sure we've got somebody behind Manny that can give us some length." Parra's last major-league start came on August 22, 2010, but he's made 74 starts in his career and has pitched at least two innings in eight of 19 appearances this season.

Manny Parra's exceptional spring came to a grinding halt on Wednesday, as he failed to retire all six batters faced in a 14-3 loss to Arizona. Five of those 14 runs were charged to the left-hander, who surrendered four hits and two walks. Parra was boasting a 1.86 ERA entering the game. He will try to get back on track as the regular season begins.

Manny Parra's one-year contract is worth $1.2 million. Parra agreed to the deal with the Brewers on Thursday, avoiding arbitration. The 29-year-old left-hander missed all of the 2011 season due to elbow surgery but will enter spring training this year with a clean bill of health.

Brewers and LHP Manny Parra avoided arbitration by agreeing on a one-year contract. Terms aren't yet available. Parra, 28, didn't throw a pitch in the majors last season and is currently making his way back from elbow surgery last August. If healthy, he'll compete for a spot in the bullpen during spring training.

Brewers activated LHP Manny Parra from the 60-day disabled list. Parra, 28, didn't throw a pitch in the majors this season and underwent season-ending surgery on his left elbow in August. The southpaw earned $1.2 million in 2011 in his first year of arbitration-eligibility and is a potential non-tender candidate this winter.

Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said Wednesday that Manny Parra will undergo surgery on his left elbow.
