Key Points:
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy announced that Kyle Harrison will start the upcoming game against the Reds, with long relievers prepared to support him.
- Harrison struggled in his recent start, failing to complete four innings and allowing six runs, marking his second poor outing in a row and raising concerns about his role in the rotation.
- Harrison’s ERA has risen from 2.79 to 3.66 due to these performances, prompting Murphy to consider adjustments such as shorter starts or bullpen roles after the team's upcoming off-day.
- Since returning from a forearm injury, Harrison’s fastball velocity and effectiveness have declined, negatively impacting his overall pitching performance despite strong underlying metrics.
- Despite recent struggles, Harrison’s season stats remain solid, and fatigue is unlikely given his inning count, leaving open the possibility that the recent poor outings are temporary.
