9:00AM: Harrison provided a positive update to reporters (including Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a>) today, saying he is \u201cnot too worried\u201d about the injury.\u00a0 Harrison won\u2019t resume throwing for a few days but said his arm is already feeling better than on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

8:22AM: The Brewers have placed left-hander Kyle Harrison<\/a> on the 15-day injured list due to left forearm tightness.\u00a0 The placement is retroactive to July 9.\u00a0 Left-hander Robert Gasser<\/a> was called up from Triple-A Nashville to take Harrison\u2019s spot on the active roster.<\/p>\n

Harrison last pitched on Wednesday, and told reporters (including Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a>) in the aftermath of the start that he had been \u201cbattling the last couple weeks\u201d with discomfort on the outside of his left elbow.\u00a0 Both Harrison and Brewers manager Pat Murphy downplayed the seriousness of the injury and felt the southpaw\u2019s condition would improve just with the added rest of the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

This IL placement may be just a method of formalizing Harrison\u2019s rest period and allowing him to skip at least one start after the break.\u00a0 However, the rather ominous designation of the injury as forearm tightness may indicate that testing has revealed something more serious, or Harrison\u2019s arm is just not recovering well three days after pitching.<\/p>\n

It seems like trying to pitch through the discomfort only caught up to Harrison recently, as he has allowed six earned runs over only 6 2\/3 total innings in his last two starts.\u00a0 Even with these couple of duds on his record, Harrison\u2019s ERA is up to only 3.01 over 83 2\/3 innings of what has been a breakout season for the former top prospect.\u00a0 Acquired from the Red Sox as part of a six-player offseason trade<\/a>, Harrison has backed up that solid ERA with outstanding strikeout (29.6%) and walk (5.9%) rates.<\/p>\n

Between Harrison\u2019s performance, the eye-popping numbers of ace Jacob Misiorowski<\/a>, and solid production from the likes of Brandon Woodruff<\/a>, Shane Drohan<\/a>, and Logan Henderson<\/a>, Milwaukee has (again) fielded one of the best rotations in baseball.\u00a0 The pitching has held up despite quite a few notable injuries, including Woodruff recently returning to the 15-day IL due to a new issue<\/a> with his balky right shoulder.<\/p>\n

Even if Harrison\u2019s IL placement is more on the precautionary side and he is able to return in minimal time, the Brewers are still likely to be looking to add pitching at the deadline.\u00a0 Milwaukee has some breathing room in the form of its 7.5-game lead over the second-place Cubs in the NL Central race, but it can\u2019t feel good for the Brewers to have Harrison and Woodruff (two of its top three starters in a playoff series) both sidelined at the All-Star break.\u00a0 If both starters are still health question marks as August 3 approaches, the Brew Crew may feel more motivated to make a higher-profile rotation addition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"9:00AM: Harrison provided a positive update to reporters (including Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) today, saying…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":793812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,112591,591,105834,85],"class_list":["post-793811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-kyle-harrison","tag-mlb","tag-robert-gasser","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=793811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/793812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=793811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=793811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=793811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
