Brewers Postseason Pitching: Who Will Get the Call?
11 Sep
Summary
- Postseason roster eligibility requires players to be on the 40-man or 60-day IL by September 1.
- Robert Gasser and Dustin May are projected starters but with very short leashes.
- The bullpen boasts depth with multi-inning relievers crucial for postseason success.
As the Brewers approach a likely postseason appearance, their pitching staff's readiness is under scrutiny. Postseason roster eligibility requires players to be on the 40-man roster or 60-day injured list by September 1, a rule the Brewers have adhered to.
In the starting rotation, Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson are definite starters. However, Robert Gasser and Dustin May are projected for the third and fourth spots but are expected to have very short leashes, with their outings potentially lasting around three innings.
The bullpen, conversely, appears to be a strength. Pitchers like Trevor Megill, Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and DL Hall are considered essential. Versatile relievers capable of pitching multiple innings are seen as critical for modern postseason play.
The final spots on the pitching staff are being eyed by several candidates, including Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison. Drohan is likely headed for the bullpen, while Harrison's role remains uncertain, depending on his performance in the remaining games. The team may also explore options from Triple-A Nashville if needed.
