The Brewers were rained out last night! I hope you'll forgive that instead of rewriting an entire new game discussion, I'm just going to (mostly) copy and paste what I wrote before yesterday's game, because both teams are using the same lineups they announced last night.
However, there are two new pieces of information today. The first is minor, and that's that Garrett Stallings has been spotted in Pittsburgh and is presumably the 27th man for today's double header (he should be available in the nightcap). The second is more troubling: Kyle Harrison has been placed on the 15-day injured list with forearm tightness, with Robert Gasser getting recalled to replace him on the roster.
Harrison himself has reiterated what he said a couple days ago: that he's not too worried. Plus, a 15-day stint on the IL right now isn't the worst thing in the world—15 days from July 9th means he could be eligible to return after missing only six games on the other side of the All-Star break, and he wasn't going to pitch this weekend anyway. It sounds like the Brewers already had some sort of plan in this respect:
Hopefully, this is just a precautionary short stint for Harrison. The Brewers have proved remarkably flexible when it comes to replacing their injured starters this season, but if Harrison is lost for a longer period, it would be a real blow.
In any case, today's game starts at 11:05 a.m. and we'll see you for some morning baseball! The rest of the preview, as written last night, is below.
