Starting Sunday in big-league debut Manager Craig Counsell announced Bettinger will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was promoted from the alternate training site Thursday and will receive the start Sunday for his major-league debut. The right-hander will fill the rotation spot of Corbin Burnes (undisclosed) and face the reigning World Series champs. Bettinger worked at the alternate training site last year and spent 2019 at Double-A Biloxi where he posted a 3.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 157:35 K:BB over 146.1 innings.

Brewers place Burnes on injured list with unspecified issue
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes is going on the injured list after a remarkable April runAPRIL 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Promotion official The Brewers recalled Bettinger from their alternate training site Thursday.
Impact Milwaukee cleared a spot on the active roster for Bettinger by placing Corbin Burnes on the 10-day injured list for an unspecified reason. Since Burnes was scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, Bettinger could be a candidate to fill what will likely be a short-term opening in the Milwaukee rotation. The 25-year-old right-hander last pitched in affiliated ball in 2019, when he posted a 3.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 157:35 K:BB in 146.1 innings for Double-A Biloxi.

Call-up on tap The Brewers will recall Bettinger (elbow) from their alternate training site ahead of Thursday's series opener against the Dodgers, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentine...
Impact Bettinger didn't pitch at all during the Brewers' Cactus League slate while dealing with a right elbow injury, but he's returned to full health since the Brewers headed north for Opening Day. While Milwaukee intends to develop Bettinger as a starter, he'll be working in long relief for the Brewers during his first stint in the majors. After Wednesday's starter, Zack Godley, gave the Brewers only three innings in a loss to the Marlins before exiting with a finger injury, Bettinger should provide a fresh arm to a taxed bullpen.

Slowed by elbow soreness Bettinger battled elbow soreness early in camp but has resumed throwing, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact The injury doesn't sound like it will significantly impede Bettinger's preseason preparation. While he's on the Brewers' 40-man roster, he's yet to pitch above Double-A, so he's unlikely to be in serious consideration for an Opening Day roster spot.

Protected from Rule 5 draft Bettinger was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster Friday.
Impact Bettinger will be protected from the Rule 5 draft after spending most of 2020 as part of the team's 60-man roster pool. The right-hander posted a 3.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 157:35 K:BB over 146.1 innings with Double-A Biloxi in 2019, and he could be considered for a major-league roster spot at some point in 2020.
