Rockies bring Rex Brothers back to majors

The Rockies called up veteran lefty reliever Rex Brothers from Triple-A Albuquerque Saturday.

What It Means:

Brothers has a career 3.49 ERA, but had a 5.59 ERA in the majors last season and a 4.71 ERA in the minors this year. The Rockies have the worst bullpen in baseball (4.61 combined ERA), so the move is just an attempt to shake things up and maybe get lucky.
