Considering McClung just went 2 frames last night, this may be a "show us your stamina" type of outing.
He might well replace Carlos or Manny in the rotation next week. Other than the one game versus the Reds where he was left in to "take one for the team", he has been as good as anyone, albeit a tad wild...though that is often the case when you get sporadic work.
EDIT: Or for Dave Bush.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
