Janson Junk - Recalled by Milwaukee The Brewers recalled Junk from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Impact The move corresponds with Milwaukee placing southpaw Rob Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow tendinitis. Junk has spent most of this season in Nashville, posting a 2.65 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 34 innings. He's made three major-league outings this season, with his last coming May 5 against the Cubs, when he allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two across two frames. Junk will rejoin the Brewers' bullpen with Zastryzny sidelined.

Rob Zastryzny - Placed on injured list The Brewers placed Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left elbow tendinitis, retroactive to Thursday.

Impact Zastryzny gave up his first earned run of the season during his last outing Wednesday, throwing 38 pitches while serving as Milwaukee's opener. He'll now be held out of action for at least the next two weeks as he manages his elbow injury, and Janson Junk will come up from Triple-A Nashville to fill the open spot in the Brewers' bullpen.

Brewers hopeful that closer Devin Williams could make his 2024 debut 'in the next few days'

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams appears on the verge of making his season debut after missing four months with stress fractures in his back

JULY 26 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Devin Williams - Activation imminent Brewers GM Matt Arnold said Friday that Williams (back) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list "in the next few days," Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentin...

Impact The right-hander has delivered three scoreless appearances in his minor-league rehab assignment, and that's apparently all he'll need to be cleared to rejoin the Brewers. Williams has been sidelined for the first four months of the season due to a pair of stress fractures in his back, but he's now in the cusp of his 2024 MLB debut. The right-hander could be eased into high-leverage spots early on, but it likely won't take long to take over closing duties from Trevor Megill.

Christian Yelich - Plans to rest and rehab back injury Yelich has elected to rest and rehab his back injury, delaying a potential surgery until the offseason, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rosenthal says offseason surgery for Yelich is viewed as a "strong possibility," but the three-time All-Star will put off the operation for now as he works to return to the field for the Brewers. Yelich aggravated his recurring back injury Tuesday and landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. It's not clear yet how long he might be sidelined.

Joe Ross - Struggles again in rehab start Ross (back) made a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville and gave up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings.

Impact Ross tossed 80 pitches (50 strikes) in Wednesday's outing and looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list from a workload standpoint, but it's unclear if the Brewers will turn to him to fill the vacant spot in their rotation. Before landing on the IL on May 21 with a low back strain, Ross turned in unremarkable ratios (4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) over his nine starts, and his recent results at Nashville haven't inspired much confidence. He began a rehab assignment earlier this month and has now made four minor-league starts in total, but he's labored in both of his past two outings, striking out six while allowing 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings between those starts. Milwaukee will require a fifth starter again this coming Tuesday versus Atlanta, but Ross' poor form of late could prompt the team to opt for a bullpen game rather than activating the right-hander.

Jakob Junis - Scoops up win in relief Junis improved to 3-0 on the season after striking out a batter and working around one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings in relief in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact The Brewers essentially deployed two bulk relievers as part of their bullpen game Wednesday. Opening pitcher Rob Zastryzny covered the first inning and gave up one run, with Bryse Wilson following him with four innings of one-run ball before Junis took the hill in the bottom of the sixth. With the Brewers breaking a 2-2 tie on Willson Contreras' RBI double in the top of the ninth, Junis was credited with the win when Joel Payamps came on in the bottom of the inning to close the game. Junis has now scooped up wins in three of his last four multi-inning relief appearances, but the Brewers don't seem compelled to have him fill the open spot in their five-man rotation. Instead, the club looks contend to get by with bullpen days when a fifth starter is needed until one of Joe Ross (back) or DL Hall (knee/forearm) is ready to return from the 60-day injured list.

JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE

DL Hall - Tosses 49 pitches in rehab start Hall (knee/forearm) struck out one batter and gave up two earned runs on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Nashville.

Impact Hall resumed his rehab assignment with Nashville after he had been shut down for just under two weeks while he recovered from a bruised left forearm, an injury he sustained when he was struck by a line drive in his previous outing July 9. As expected, Hall looks like he'll be built back up for a starting role, as he tossed 49 pitches (26 strikes) in his return to Nashville. He'll likely need at least two more outings in the minors to get fully stretched out before the Brewers potentially bring him back from the 60-day injured list a clear a spot for him in the rotation.
