Freak injury lands Brewers' Narveson on DL

St. Louis, MO – Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Chris Narveson day disabled list Wednesday after slicing his thumb on his pitching hand in a freak accident.

Narveson was working on his glove in the trainer's room Tuesday when he sliced his thumb and needed eight stitches to close the wound.

The Brewers recalled pitcher Frankie De La Cruz from Triple-A Nashville. The 27-year-old right-hander is 7-6 with a 3.88 ERA in 25 games (23 starts) for the Sounds this season.
