Brewers' Jacob Barnes: To begin rehab assignment Friday

Barnes (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Biloxi, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt reports.

Analysis:

He was fantastic for the Brewers before a bout with elbow soreness landed him on the DL in late July. Barnes had a 3.71 ERA, 1.24 ERA and 25.7 percent K-rate in his first 17 innings in the big leagues and figures to occupy a notable role in the Brewers' bullpen in the coming seasons.
