Brewers' Bullpen Shaken: Koenig Injured, Drohan Called Up

On April 6th, the Milwaukee Brewers just placed reliever Jarek Koneck on the 15-day injured

list with a sprained ligament in his left elbow.

It's a sprained UCL, which managers call a big concern, but they're opting for treatment

over surgery right now.

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

Earlier this week, Koneck headed back to Milwaukee for scans after not looking sharp.

In the best case, he could return in two to four weeks, and he'll likely get a second

opinion.

Meanwhile, the injury bug is hitting hard, with starter Quinn Priester out for the

rastic outlist syndrome, outfielder Jax Centurio Nursing A.

Fractured left hand and first baseman Andrew Vaughn, recovering from left hamat surgery.

Manager Pat Murphy praised Koneck as an unsung hero, noting his 137 appearances over the

past three years with a 2.5.

He's been versatile in big spots, but his velocity dipped since spring training, and

they limited his back-to-back outings.

Drowhand, Milwaukee's number 25 prospect, steps up at Fenway Park during their series against

the Red Sox.

He came over in a February trade from Boston, nearly made the opening roster, and is ready

for bullpen or even a start on Wednesday after a rain out.

Mess with the rotation.

This shake-up tests the brewers depth as they push through Fenway, hoping Drowhand

brings that rookie fire, and Koneck bounces back quick to keep there.

Bullpen locked in.
