Brewers' Drohan Steps Up, Koenig Sidelined

It's April 7.

Milwaukee Brewer's buzzing about lefty Shane Drowhand's major league debut after snagging

him in a trade from the Boston Red Sox.

The 27-year-old impressed in spring with big strikeout numbers, ready as a starter or

solid reliever.

What is stems from bad news, reliever Jared Cohnig landed on the 15-day injured list

Monday with a sprained left elbow ligament.

Drowhand was primed for the show.

Just waiting for a roster spot on that stacked pitching staff, injuries happen, and Cohnig's

the one who drew the short straw this time.

Cohnig's been a bullpen cornerstone for over two years, with a sharp 2.62 ERA, 9.3 strikeouts

per 9 innings, and a 15-5 record over 130 appearances.

Manager Pat Murphy called it a major worry, though no surgery talk yet.

They hope Cohnig returns in two to four weeks.

Meanwhile, Drowhand gets his shot heading into a series at Fenway Park against his old

club, the Red Sox, who drafted and developed him.

Brewer stayed deep in lefty arms, built a roll through storms like this.

Drowhand fills those big shoes for now, keeping the pen humming strong.
