Brewers Call Up Drohan, Koenig Hits IL

It's April 6th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Milwaukee Brewers News Today, AI-powered

updates on your squad.

Milwaukee Brewers just put Lefty Jared Konig on the 15-day injured list with a left

elbow sprain and they called up fellow South Paul Shane, Joe Han from AAA A Nashville

to fill the spot on the 26-man roster.

Konig, a 32-year-old in his 30-year with the Brewers, has been solid in the bullpen with

a 2.62 ERA over 130, and one-third innings, including 135 strikeouts.

This season, he tossed two and one-third innings in three outings, striking out four, but

giving up two unearned runs.

This marks another early blow from Milwaukee's pitching staff, joining outfielder Jackson

Shurio, first baseman Andrew Vaughan, and hurlers Quinn, Priester, Craig Yoho, and Rob's

Esther Isney on the sidelines.

No word yet on how bad Konig's elbow is, or when he might return, which leaves fans

holding their breath.

Stepping in is Joe Han, the Brewers' number 25 prospect and a 27-year-old acquired in

February's trade.

He has not debuted in the majors yet, but impressed in AAA with a 2.27 ERA last year,

over 47 and two-thirds innings, and recently struck out six and three and one-third frames

for Nashville.

Joe Han now gets his shot, probably facing the Red Sox, who drafted him fifth round back

in 2020, as the Brewers grind through this injury.

Stretch and eye the next series.
