Overview
- Kyle Harrison was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and started for the Brewers after being announced Aug. 5 for that night’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- He completed a 5 2/3-inning, scoreless rehab start for High-A Wisconsin on July 30 and reported no forearm discomfort afterward.
- Milwaukee optioned right-hander Grant Anderson to Triple-A Nashville to open the roster spot for Harrison.
- The 24-year-old returns with an 8-2 record, a 3.01 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 83 2/3 innings as the Brewers sit 70-43 and 1.5 games ahead for the NL’s best record.
- Harrison’s activation, together with recent deadline additions such as Dustin May, gives the Brewers more starting depth to protect innings and preserve home-field advantage potential late in the season.
