Kyle Harrison's Recent Struggles Prompt Potential Changes for Brewers

Kyle Harrison, who had been performing well for the Milwaukee Brewers, has faced difficulties in his last two games. He gave up 15 runs, 13 of which were earned, along with 19 hits, six home runs, and six walks over 7.1 innings.

Harrison is set to make his next start on Saturday, but the Brewers are preparing long relievers in case he encounters further issues. Manager Pat Murphy mentioned that adjustments to Harrison's role could be necessary, including the possibility of using him behind an opener or shifting him to the bullpen.

Fatigue might be contributing to Harrison's recent performance, as he is nearing a career-high in innings pitched. The Brewers, currently leading the National League, will need him to regain his earlier form, especially with postseason aspirations and the expectation that he will serve as a key starter alongside Jacob Misiorowski.
