The Milwaukee Brewers announced Saturday that left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison has been placed on the 15-day injured list, sidelined by tightness in his forearm.
The roster move was made retroactive to Thursday — one day after Harrison threw four innings and absorbed the loss in Milwaukee’s 5-1 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Harrison, 24, has been one of the Brewers’ standout performers this season, his first in Milwaukee. He carries an impressive 8-2 record with a 3.01 ERA across 17 starts. The team acquired him from the Boston Red Sox back in February.
To replace Harrison on the active roster, Milwaukee recalled left-hander Robert Gasser, 27, from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. Gasser holds a 2-3 record with a 4.15 ERA in eight starts with the Brewers this season.
