Brewers Pitching Boost: Harrison Nears Return
16 Jul
Summary
- Kyle Harrison is progressing well after a forearm injury.
- Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester will miss the entire season.
- The Brewers currently hold a five-game lead in their division.
The Milwaukee Brewers' pitching rotation has been significantly impacted by injuries to key players. Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester are confirmed to miss the entire season due to their respective injuries. Priester will not return this year, and Woodruff is currently on the 60-Day Injured List with a shoulder ailment.
A more optimistic update has emerged regarding Kyle Harrison, who was placed on the 15-Day Injured List on July 11 with left forearm tightness. General Manager Matt Arnold indicated on Wednesday that Harrison is progressing well and "feeling pretty good" during the break. This news comes as the Brewers maintain a substantial five-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central standings.
Despite the challenges in their rotation, the Brewers have consistently found ways to win games. The potential return of Harrison, who has posted an 8-2 record with a 3.01 ERA over 17 starts this season, would be a significant boost. The team is also looking forward to the possible return of Lance McCullers Jr. to further bolster their pitching depth.
