Covers three innings Saturday Junis tossed three innings out of the bullpen in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Padres, giving up two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out two.
Impact Though it might not have been manager Pat Murphy's plan heading into the day, Junis was essentially piggybacked starter Carlos F. Rodriguez, who was pulled from the contest after laboring through four innings and racking up 72 pitches. Meanwhile, Junis -- who was making his first appearance since April 2 following his recent reinstatement from the 60-day injured list -- was far more efficient, needing 39 pitches to record nine outs while largely steering clear of damage until Kyle Higashioka took him deep in the seventh inning for a two-run home run. With Rodriguez now 0-3 with a 7.30 ERA through his first three big-league starts, it wouldn't be surprising if the Brewers optioned him to Triple-A Nashville to open up a starting spot for Junis, who had previously been part of the Opening Day rotation before landing on the shelf in April.

Could join Brewers next week Junis (shoulder) will pitch another sim game in Arizona on Monday and could join the Brewers afterward, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Brewers embark on a seven-game West Coast trip Monday, playing three-games in Los Angeles and four in San Diego. Already in Arizona, Junis could rejoin the team during that stretch, though it's unclear if he'd immediately return to the rotation or would be eased in from the bullpen. The 31-year-old was moved to Arizona from Triple-A Nashville due to velocity concerns and most recently threw a four-inning simulated game Wednesday.

Simulated game set for Wednesday Junis (shoulder) will throw a four-inning simulated game Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Junis made a 2.1-inning rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Nashville, but his velocity wasn't where he and the Brewers hoped. If the velocity is back during Wednesday's simulated game, it's possible he could be cleared to return next week. Junis has been sidelined since early April, first with a right shoulder impingement and then with a head injury that occurred when he was hit by a ball during batting practice.

Fires four efficient innings Junis struck out four and allowed one run on three hits and a walk over four innings Tuesday against the Twins.
Impact Junis pounded the zone with 34 of his 47 pitches going for a strike, but the Brewers clearly had a plan in place and went the bullpen to begin the fifth inning. The right-hander missed out on the victory, but it was an encouraging first start of the season, which could earn him a longer lease in subsequent outings. Junis may only have a couple turns to stake his claim to the rotation with Wade Miley (shoulder) nearing a rehab assignment.

Joining Milwaukee Junis signed a contract with the Brewers on Monday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Junis has been used out of the bullpen for the majority of the last two seasons while with San Francisco (four starts in 63 outings), but McDaniel notes that Milwaukee plans to see what he can do as a starting pitcher. He should have a good chance to claim a spot near the back end of the Brewers' rotation, especially following the departure of Corbin Burnes to the Orioles less than a week ago.

Out for season The Giants placed Junis on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a cervical strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Junis was taken out of his appearance Saturday against the Dodgers reporting neck tightness, and he will now be held out for the final week of the season. The 31-year-old righty logged a 3.87 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 86 innings while posting a 96:21 K:BB. Joey Bart was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to fill Junis' roster spot.
