Brewers Take Precaution With Cordero



Brewers closer Francisco Cordero is not expected to pitch in intrasquad games over the next couple of days. Brewers manager Ned Yost said this move was purely precautionary. "We're taking our time with him," Yost said. "He had problems last spring, and we're working slow with him so it doesn't happen again." Last year with Texas, Cordero posted an 11.45 ERA over his first 12 outings, leading to his demotion from the closer role and eventual trade to Milwaukee.
