In his last seven appearances, Knebel is 0-2 with an 11.37 ERA.“This isn’t really a demotion. It’s a break,” general manager David Stearns said. “Allow him some time to really work on some things in bullpen sessions. It’s really tough for active relief pitchers at the major league level to do that during the normal course of a season because they need to pitch in games every single night.”Joakim Soria from the 10-day disabled list before Friday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It’s not easy and we don’t have a lot of time left to make adjustments, so it’s difficult. But we thought the best chance for us to get Corey throwing the ball well again is to give him this break, give him some time to work and then see what we’ve got and go after it in September.”Right-hander Zach Davies also was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list. He was optioned to Single-A Wisconsin.
