Brewers purchased the contract of RHP Kevin Shackelford from Double-A Huntsville.
Shackelford had an odd season in 2013, logging a poor 5.06 ERA at Class-A Brevard County, but posting a sparkling 0.92 ERA over 29 1/3 relief innings at Huntsville. The 6-foot-5 right-hander has performed better ever since the Brewers shifted him to relief.
