Brewers' Harrison Avoids IL Despite Wrist Woes
16 Apr
Summary
- Kyle Harrison's next start is being pushed back due to a wrist issue.
- He sustained the injury after being hit by a throw on his kneecap.
- Harrison is not expected to be placed on the Injured List currently.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Kyle Harrison's upcoming start has been postponed as he recovers from a wrist injury. Harrison experienced discomfort in his left wrist during his last outing on April 11 against the Washington Nationals, where he pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out one batter. The injury occurred when he took a throw directly off his kneecap.
While Harrison is dealing with this wrist issue, he is not expected to be placed on the Injured List. The team is taking a cautious approach, planning to push his next start back by a few days to allow for adequate healing. This is a critical time for the Brewers, who are also managing other injuries, including Christian Yelich on the IL and Quinn Priester also sidelined.
Harrison, acquired from the Boston Red Sox, has been a valuable addition to the Brewers' rotation. In three starts this season, the 24-year-old boasts a 3.07 ERA over 14 2/3 innings. The team's rotation, when healthy, is considered potentially elite, featuring talents like Jacob Misiorowski and Chad Patrick. Current pitching plans show Patrick starting Wednesday night and Brandon Sproat on Thursday, with upcoming starter roles for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday still undetermined.
