Milwaukee, Wisconsin – The Milwaukee Brewers are hopeful that their All-Star closer Trevor Megill could make a comeback before the end of the regular season. Megill has been sidelined since August 24th due to a right flexor strain and is in the midst of a recovery process. He is scheduled to undergo a bullpen session in San Diego, where he will throw 25-30 pitches as part of his rehabilitation.
Before his injury, Megill had appeared in 49 games for the Brewers, boasting a record of 5-3 with an impressive 2.54 earned run average (ERA). The team has high hopes for his return, noting that he has a chance to be back in action before their season finale on September 28th. His timely return could be crucial for the Brewers as they prepare for the National League Division Series, which begins on October 4th. Currently, the Brewers hold a record of 95-62 and are aiming to break the franchise record for wins in a single season.
Manager Pat Murphy expressed optimism about Megill’s recovery, indicating a desire for him to pitch before the postseason while acknowledging that challenges remain in his rehabilitation process. The Brewers have enjoyed considerable success this season, which has amplified the significance of Megill’s potential return. Should he return for the final game, it would also signal that he could be ready for the playoffs.
In addition to Megill’s recovery, the Brewers are dealing with another significant issue on their pitching roster. Starting pitcher Jose Quintana has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left calf strain he sustained while covering first base in a recent game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Quintana’s injury adds another layer of uncertainty regarding their pitching staff’s depth for the postseason.
To address Quintana’s absence, the Brewers have reinstated right-handed reliever Nick Mears, who will take over his roster spot. The team is navigating through these challenges as they strive to maintain their winning momentum heading into the playoffs. Another bright spot for the Brewers is pitcher Robert Gasser, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery. Gasser had a solid outing with Triple-A Nashville, showcasing his potential for a future role with the team.
As September winds down, all eyes are on the Brewers and their efforts to solidify their position for the postseason. The return of Trevor Megill, especially in light of Quintana’s injury, could play a pivotal role in determining the team’s success in October. With the current roster banged up, the Brewers’ management is eager to ensure all available hands are on deck as they gear up for the postseason.
As the Brewers continue to monitor Megill’s recovery and determine the extent of Quintana’s injury, the team remains cautiously optimistic about their chances to achieve a strong finish to the regular season and a competitive edge in the playoffs.
