The Brewers announced before their Friday night game with the Pittsburgh Pirates that Mears had back tightness and was going on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday. The Brewers recalled right-hander Carlos Rodríguez from Triple-A Nashville.

Mears, 28, joins All All-Star closer Trevor Megill (right flexor strain), left-hander DL Hall (right oblique) and right-handers Grant Anderson (right ankle) and Shelby Miller (right elbow) as Brewers relievers on the injured list.
