Brewers' Bullpen Adapts with Koenig's Injury, Drohan's Debut

It's April 6th. Welcome in. This is Milwaukee Brewers News Today, where your team meets AI.

I'm Cory with the story. Milwaukee Brewers had a snag opening their series at Fenway Park on April 6th.

Reliever Jared Kohnig landed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow spring.

Manager Pat Murphy called it a big concern, but they're aiming to rehab it and skip surgery,

hoping for a return in two to four weeks.

To fill the spot, they called up lefty Shane Drowhand from Triple A.

He stepping in, right as the Brewers faced the Red Sox.

The team that traded him away this offseason in a three-player deal.

Kohnig's been a quiet standout these past two years, posting a 2.67 earn run average over 127 games.

Fans and the team leaned on his versatility, with his velocity dipped this spring and into the season,

hitting just 93.5 miles per hour on his sinker last outing.

Drowhand, drafted by Boston in 2020, downplayed any revenge angle for a potential big lead debut.

He gets the action in Long Relief early, or start the series finale on April 8th,

marking his first MLB taste at the historic park.

This makes a setback in fresh arm, keeps the Brewers bullpen flexible heading into Boston.

Watch how Drowhand handles the pressure, while Kohnig works.

Back.
