Priester, 24, will join the Brewers when they open a series at Colorado on Tuesday night. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, right-handed reliever Grant Wolfram was designated for assignment.

LHP Aaron Ashby, strained right oblique, expected to try a bullpen session late this week, then go on rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville.
RHP Aaron Civale, left hamstring, out until late April.
LHP Nestor Cortes, left elbow flexor strain, went to 15-day IL on Sunday
LHP Robert Gasser, Tommy John Surgery last June 4, out until September.
LHP DL Hall, strained left lat, on 60-day IL since March 5, not expected back until May.
