Francisco Rodriguez, who signed a minor league deal with the Brewers in April, was activated on Thursday night.

Rodriguez said he had other options this spring, including an immediate Major League deal, but he liked Milwaukee.

"There were a few teams out there, but I was waiting for the right opportunity," Rodriguez said. "I had a few options I could have taken to be at the big league level right away, but I wasn't ready physically to make that commitment.

"I like the ballclub. I really do feel comfortable here. I could've gone elsewhere and taken a big league job. But I didn't. I was just waiting for the right moment. It came and we got it done."
