Brewers seek starting pitcher help as injuries challenge rotation
Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers are exploring options for starting pitching support as injuries impact their rotation. Jacob Misiorowski, a favorite for the National League Cy Young Award, missed a recent start but is anticipated to return in the next series. Kyle Harrison is currently on the injured list with forearm tightness, and Brandon Woodruff has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to shoulder issues. While the team has several young pitchers available, they may pursue a proven starter for the postseason. New acquisition Lance McCullers Jr. is expected to pitch from the bullpen. The Brewers might target players like Tarik Skubal or Joe Ryan by the trade deadline to solidify their rotation.
