Yovani Gallardo Arrested For Drunken Driving

Jason Wise/MLB Photos via Getty Images(MILWAUKEE) -- Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo was arrested early Tuesday morning on a drunken-driving charge after authorities say he had a blood-alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit.

According to the police report, the 27-year-old Gallardo was pulled over after deputies observed him driving 40 mph in a 55-mph zone. Authorities say they observed Gallardo with red glassy eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol. He was given a breathalyzer test, which revealed his blood-alcohol level to be 0.22. The legal limit is 0.08.

"We have been made aware of the situation with Yovani and we take this matter very seriously,” the Brewers said in a statement. “We have expressed our disappointment to him and know he understands that behavior of this nature is of great concern to everyone in the organization. Yovani has acknowledged the seriousness of this incident and is taking full accountability for his actions."

In three starts this season, Gallardo is 0-1 with a 6.61 ERA.

Aramis Ramirez Placed on DL

Jason Wise/MLB Photos via Getty Images(MILWAUKEE) -- The Milwaukee Brewers placed third baseman Aramis Ramirez on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left knee Saturday.

Ramirez was injured while sliding into second base during the Brewers' 3-1 loss to Arizona Friday night. Ramirez had an MRI Saturday confirming the injury. It is the same injury that forced him to miss two weeks of Spring Training.

"They have to (place him on the DL)," Ramirez said. "Last time it took me two weeks. This gives me the full 15 days to recover. You never know how long it's going to take, how it's going to respond, because you can't do anything to it. You can't shoot cortisone in it or anything like that. You just have to let it heal. Hopefully, I just need 15 days."

Utility man Josh Prince was called up from Triple-A Nashville to take Ramirez's roster spot.

Ramirez is hitting .385 in 13 at-bats this season.

Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images(MILWAUKEE) -- The Milwaukee Brewers signed free agent infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to a one-year contract on Wednesday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Betancourt played with the Brewers in 2011, leading them to the National League Central division title.

Source: Brewers To Sign Kyle Lohse

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(NEW YORK) --  The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to sign free agent pitcher Kyle Lohse, according to ESPN sources.

The deal is worth $33 million over three years, but is contingent upon the completion of a physical.

The 34-year-old Lohse went 16-13 with a 2.86 ERA for the St. Louis Cardinals last season.  His record over 12 MLB seasons is 118-109 with a 4.45 ERA.

Lohse has the chance to earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses, according to the source who first reported the deal.

He will slide in as the No. 2 starter in the Brewers' rotation behind ace Yovani Gallardo.

Brewers' Carlos Gomez Inks Four-Year Deal

Rob Carr/Getty Images(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) -- The Milwaukee Brewers and outfielder Carlos Gomez agreed to a four-year, $28.3 million deal on Wednesday.

Gomez, 27, hit .260 with 19 homers and 37 stolen bases in 137 games in 2012.  In the offseason, Gomez signed a one-year, $4.3 million deal in January before the Brewers added three more years on Wednesday.

"I feel really good that I'll be able to stay three more years with the Brewers now that they've given me a new opportunity," Gomez said through a translator on Wednesday. "It was important for me to sign for three more years because this was going to be my fourth year with the organization that gave me a chance. I know I can have a better year than last year, and that's why I decided to sign for longer."

Brewers president and general manager Doug Melvin is happy to have Gomez for four more years in Milwaukee.

"He has always had the physical skills, and his recent performance has given us the confidence that he will take the next step in becoming one of the top center fielders in the game," Melvin said in a statement. "His energy, speed and aggressive style of play is a perfect fit for Ron Roenicke's style of managing."

Report: Ryan Braun's Name Listed In Miami Clinic Records 

Robert Binder/MLB Photos via Getty Images(MILWAUKEE) -- Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun’s name appears in three of the Biogenesis clinic records, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The clinic has been alleged to have distributed performance-enhancing drugs to several Major League Baseball players, including New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, according to an article in the Miami New Times last week.

The records obtained by Yahoo! Sports shows Braun’s name comes up three different times, but there is no specific PED listed next to his name.

Braun released a statement late Tuesday night.

“During the course of preparing for my successful appeal last year, my attorneys, who were previously familiar with Tony Bosch, used him as a consultant. More specifically, he answered questions about T/E ratio and possibilities of tampering with samples,” Braun said. “There was a dispute over compensation for Bosch's work, which is why my lawyer and I are listed under 'moneys owed' and not on any other list. I have nothing to hide and have never had any other relationship with Bosch. I will fully cooperate with any inquiry into this matter.”

MLB says they will investigate the alleged link to the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player.

The 29-year-old Braun was suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for illegal synthetic testosterone during the 2011 postseason. That banned was later overturned after the handling of the sample was called into question.

Report: N.Y. Mets Sign RHP Shaun Marcum To A One-Year Deal

Mike McGinnis/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The New York Mets have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent starting pitcher Shaun Marcum, pending a physical, according to ESPN.com.

The 31-year-old right-hander went 7-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 21 starts for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2012. He struck out 109 batters and walked 41 in 124 innings of work.  

Marcum was on the shelf for more than two months last season battling elbow tightness. He also missed most of spring training due to discomfort in his shoulder.

Marcum is expected to join a rotation in Queens that includes Johan Santana, Matt Harvey, Jonathon Niese and Dillon Gee.
