The Milwaukee Brewers have taken their righty ace, Ben Sheets off the DL today, just in time to start against the division rival Chicago Cubs tonight at Wrigley Field.

In the 40 games Sheets has missed, the Brew Crew have completely lost their lead in the NL Central, going 14-26 in his absence.
They sit just 2.5 games behind the division-leading Cubbies and trail the defending World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals by just half a game - so the timing could not be any better.
