Luke Weaver makes his Memphis debut: Your daily farm report

Wacha to DL; Reyes called up; Weaver to start Saturday: roster news, and big news at that. Bad news that Michael Wacha is moving to the DL, the interesting news is that Alex Reyes will be called up to the bullpen, with the team planning on starting Luke Weaver on Saturday in place of Wacha. Someone (presumably a reliever, probably Jerome Williams) will need to be demoted in order to call-up Weaver on Saturday, who had an impressive season at Double-A before making his first Triple-A start recently.
