Eric Sogard to Rehab with Timber Rattlers

GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Milwaukee Brewers have announced that Eric Sogard will join the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers for a Major League rehabilitation assignment starting on Wednesday. He will be scheduled to be with the Timber Rattlers for the first two games of a series with the South Bend Cubs at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium.

Sogard, who is hitting .331 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 43 games with the Brewers this season, was placed on Milwaukee's 10-day disabled list on July 5. He jammed his left ankle in late June in a game at Cincinnati.

He will be the fourth current Brewers player to have a rehabilitation assignment with the Timber Rattlers this season. Matt Garza pitched for Wisconsin in a game at Clinton on April 17. Ryan Braun and Jonathan Villar were with the Timber Rattlers at home from June 22-25.

Wednesday is Ladies' Night presented by Avenue Jewelers and Barefoot Wines. There will be drink specials and surprises for the ladies, including a chance to register for the Avenue Jewelers' Diamond Dig in the beach! The first 1,000 fans to attend this game will receive poster of Timber Rattlers All-Star pitcher Braden Webb. Fox Communities Credit Union will be at the game and handing out envelopes with different denominations of cash. All fans may enjoy Cher-Make hotdogs and Pepsi products for $1. Fans 21 and older may purchase 12-ounce domestic beers for $1. This is a part of Bang for Your Buck Night at the ballpark with Y100! Also, one lucky fan will win two charter airfare tickets courtesy of AAA Travel and Funjet Vacations.

Thursday is Christmas in July presented by Miller Electric with a giveaway based on a Holiday classic. The first 1,000 fans to attend this game will receive a winter cap just like Cousin Eddie wore in Christmas Vacation! Thursday is also a Craft Brews & Brats Night with Y100. Fans of legal drinking age may enjoy 12-ounce craft beers for $2. Cher-Make brats are also just $2 and they are available for everyone. Beers from Fox River Brewing Company, Badger Club Amber, and many, many more will be available.

Tickets for July 19 and July 20 are available online, over the phone at (920) 733-4152 or (800) WI-TIMBER, or in person. The Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium Box Office is open from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 3:00pm.
