Brewers' Koenig Injury, Drohan Call-Up

0:00On April 7th, the Milwaukee Brewers are off to a scorching start, sitting at eight wins and two losses after beating the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Night. Their bats are lighting it up, ranking top four in the lead for batting average at 271 on base percentage at 376. Slugging at 437 and OPS at 813. Their pitching has kept pace too, with a team ERA of 344 that puts them in the top 10. But now there's a bump in the road, as reliever Jared Koneck heads to the 15-day injured list with a sprained ligament in his left elbow. Koneck has been solid in limited action this year, tossing 2.1 innings over three games with four strikeouts. Coming in, the Brewers counted on his veteran presence after his 15 wins and five losses last season. Plus a 267 ERA and nine point. Two strikeouts per nine innings. Reports say both Koneck and the team hope to dodge surgery, which would sideline him even longer. In the meantime, they've called up Shane Drowhand from AAA Nashville, where he gave up two earned runs and four walks in 3.1 innings in.

1:06His only outing this year. Drowhand's mostly been a starter in the minors at age 27, but it's unclear if he'll slot into the rotation or just feel Koneck's bullpen spot. The Brewers stay locked in, balancing the setback with their early fire. From your team, powered by AI, this is Milwaukee Brewers News Today.
