Brewers place Grant Anderson on 15-day injured list and recall Brandon Sproat
On Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers placed pitcher Grant Anderson on the 15-day injured list with right biceps inflammation and recalled right-hander Brandon Sproat from Triple-A Nashville.
Manager Pat Murphy confirmed Anderson experienced biceps tendinitis after pitching 2 2/3 innings Sunday against Cincinnati, though medical evaluations revealed no structural damage.
Sproat, acquired from the New York Mets on Jan. 21, logged a 4.00 ERA across five appearances in Nashville and aims to provide bullpen length after recent short starts depleted the bullpen.
The MLB-leading Brewers hold a 1 1/2-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers and a seven-game cushion over the Chicago Cubs as they pursue a postseason clinch.
Beyond the roster adjustment, uncertainty surrounds young lefty Kyle Harrison, who allowed nine runs in 3 2/3 innings Sunday against Cincinnati; Murphy indicated rotation roles could shift moving forward.
