Kyle Harrison Set to Make Rehab Start this Week
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison (forearm) is set to make a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin this upcoming week, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Hogg notes that Harrison "should be ready to rock" during Milwaukee's next home stand, which begins on August 3. Harrison has been on the 15-day injured list since early July due to left forearm tightness. However, it appears as though the 24-year-old has avoided significant structural damage. Across 83 2/3 innings (17 starts) in 2026, Harrison has recorded an 8-2 record with a 3.01 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 101 strikeouts. Harrison has struck out 29.6% of the batters he's faced while surrendering just a 5.9% walk rate. Upon his return, the hard-throwing lefty profiles as a must-start pitcher across all fantasy formats.

Peyton Niksch Earns the Call to Double-A After Stellar Showing in Lower Levels
Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Peyton Niksch is set to join Double-A, according to MiLB Central. The right-hander has turned in an impressive debut campaign in the system and is quickly approaching the top level of their system. The 22-year-old made his professional debut at the start of the 2026 campaign with Low-A and has yet to face any major setbacks. With Low-A, the reliever logged 26 2/3 innings over 14 games and held a 2.70 ERA with two saves. With High-A, the right-hander took an impressive step forward, logging 16 frames to the tune of a 1.13 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. In this stint, he struck out 15 hitters while walking only three. A 2026 MLB debut is highly unlikely, but Niksch is a name to continue monitoring as he approaches the top levels.

Robert Gasser a Short-Term Streaming Option in Milwaukee
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser should stick around in the Brewers' starting rotation for a little while longer with fellow southpaw Kyle Harrison (elbow) still on the injured list, making him a starting option off the waiver wire in deeper leagues after his latest bounce-back effort. The 27-year-old lefty allowed a season-high seven earned runs on eight hits (two homers) to the Pittsburgh Pirates in his final start before the All-Star break, but he bounced back nicely on July 19 against the Miami Marlins, giving up just one earned run while walking none and striking out five in five innings for a no-decision. Gasser's 4.91 ERA (5.13 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP in 10 starts and 51 1/3 innings don't look particularly enticing, but he does have a career-high 21.9% strikeout rate and a solid 6.4% walk rate in a small sample size in 2026. Deep-league managers looking for a decent streaming option in the second half should consider Gasser while he remains in a starting role. The former second-rounder by the San Diego Padres in 2021 out of the University of Houston is rostered in just 11% of Yahoo leagues, and he has a very attractive next outing at home against the Colorado Rockies.

Jacob Misiorowski to Make his Next Start on Sunday
Updating a previous report, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski will make his next start at home this Sunday against the Colorado Rockies, according to Hunter Baumgardt of FOX Sports 920 Milwaukee. Misiorowski will end up taking his normal turn in the starting rotation for the Brew Crew after recently being given extra rest going into and out of last week's All-Star Game due to right-arm fatigue. The 24-year-old flamethrower returned to the mound in Monday's series opener versus the New York Mets and was limited to four innings, allowing an unearned run on four hits while walking one and striking out six. Manager Pat Murphy said that the Miz was getting his legs back under him in his first start since July 7. After a heavy first-half workload, the Brewers will get creative in the second half in limiting his innings so that he's not worn down for the postseason. Despite a potential shorter leash this weekend, Misiorowski will be an absolute must-start in fantasy lineups against Colorado. In his first start against the Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field on June 6, Misiorowski allowed an unearned run with three walks and eight strikeouts in seven innings for his seventh win of the year.

Kyle Harrison To Begin Rehab Assignment July 31
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Kyle Harrison (forearm) is scheduled for live batting practice Saturday before beginning a rehab assignment July 31, according to Hunter Baumgardt. Harrison landed on the 15-day injured list July 11, retroactive to July 9, with left forearm tightness. He said an MRI during the All-Star break came back "all good," then completed a bullpen session July 18. The Brewers still plan to build him back carefully rather than activate him as soon as he is eligible. Harrison was 8-2 with a 3.01 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 101 strikeouts in 83 2/3 innings over 17 starts before the injury. He remains worth holding in fantasy leagues with an IL spot available.

Jacob Misiorowski Won't Start Again This Week
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski will not make another start this week, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The Brewers plan to pitch Brandon Sproat on four days' rest against the Colorado Rockies this weekend, giving Misiorowski at least a week between outings. Misiorowski returned Monday, July 20, after 13 days off and was held to four innings and 65 pitches against the New York Mets. He gave up one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six. The 24-year-old was scratched before the All-Star break because of right-arm fatigue, and Milwaukee is not rushing him now. Fantasy managers in weekly formats will get only one start from Misiorowski during the current scoring period.

Brandon Sproat Brings Strikeout Upside As a Streaming Starter in the Second Half
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Sproat will make his first start of the second half on Tuesday, looking to establish himself as a key part of Milwaukee's rotation going forward. He went only 3-4 in his 18 games (16 starts) so far this season, with a 5.12 FIP and 5.16 ERA. On the plus side, though, Sproat has shown strikeout potential with 87 strikeouts in 82 innings. His 24.7% K% is a big improvement on his 20.2% K% last season with the Mets. While he still struggled with efficiency and has given up too much hard contact, there are some signs that the 25-year-old could be the next Brewers' acquisition to go on a run. He is lined up for opportunities with Kyle Harrison (forearm) on the injured list and Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) done for the season.

Kyle Harrison's MRI Comes Back "All Good"
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison (elbow) said his precautionary MRI exam came back "all good," and he threw off a mound on Saturday with no issues, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Now the question is whether he will face live hitters before coming off the 15-day injured list. Harris is eligible to return to the Brewers this Friday, July 24. It's the best-case scenario for the Brewers and fantasy managers, although the 24-year-old southpaw will be pretty risky in starting lineups in his next scheduled start when he returns from the IL. In 17 games (83 2/3 innings) in his first year in Milwaukee, Harrison has found new life, going 8-2 with a 3.01 ERA (3.10 FIP) and 1.08 WHIP with 101 strikeouts and 20 walks in his fourth year in the big leagues. In his two starts against the Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals in July, Harrison allowed six earned runs on nine hits with a walk and only five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings, but he could have been compromised by his elbow issues. He's still rostered in over 80% of Yahoo leagues and can be a key starter for fantasy managers in the second half if he stays healthy.

Jacob Misiorowski Moved Up to Start Monday Against Mets
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (arm) has been moved up to make his first start of the second half of the season in Monday's series opener against the New York Mets, with right-hander Brandon Sproat being pushed back to Tuesday, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Misiorowski had his final start before the All-Star break skipped after coming down with some arm fatigue after his latest start on July 7 against the St. Louis Cardinals, so the Brewers have decided to give him an extended break going into the second half. The 24-year-old flamethrowing righty is already at 111 innings on the year after setting a career high in innings with 141 1/3 between the majors and minors in 2025, so Milwaukee is expected to get creative in finding ways to manage his workload from here on out. When active, though, the Miz is a must-start in all fantasy leagues as one of the most dominant arms in baseball. He is 10-4 in his 18 starts and leads the league in ERA (1.62), strikeouts (167), FIP (2.09), WHIP (0.76), hits per nine innings (4.6), and strikeouts per nine (13.5).

Jacob Misiorowski Returning Tuesday Against Mets
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (right arm) will return to the rotation Tuesday against the New York Mets. The 24-year-old was scratched from his July 12 start because of arm fatigue and also sat out the All-Star Game, but Milwaukee never placed him on the injured list. He last pitched July 7, allowing three runs over seven innings against St. Louis, so he will have 14 days between starts. Misiorowski has dominated through 18 outings, going 10-4 with a major-league-best 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, and 167 strikeouts in 111 innings. Fantasy managers can get him active again. Milwaukee has already been deliberate with his schedule, and Misiorowski is now 30 1/3 innings shy of the career-high 141 1/3 he logged between the majors, minors, and postseason in 2025.

Brandon Woodruff to Undergo Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) announced Saturday that he will undergo surgery to repair the anterior capsule in his right shoulder, ending his 2026 season. It is the same operation he had in October 2023, a recovery that cost him all of 2024 and kept him out until July 2025. Woodruff said he is going through with the procedure "with the goal in mind of pitching again" and pushed back on retirement talk, adding, "I'm not having a funeral or anything." The 33-year-old finishes 2-2 with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings over nine starts. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues. Shane Drohan and Robert Gasser are scheduled to start for Milwaukee this weekend while the club continues sorting through a depleted rotation.

Logan Henderson Battles Forearm Cramping During Friday's Start
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson (forearm) said that he was dealing with a forearm cramp in the fifth inning of his start on Friday night's win over the Miami Marlins, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Henderson was visited by a trainer, but he stayed in the game and finished with one earned run allowed on three hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out four in five innings for a no-decision at American Family Field. The 24-year-old didn't have an amazing first outing out of the All-Star break, but it was another solid showing, and he lowered his season ERA to under 3.00 in the process. Henderson said he was already feeling better after the game on Friday night, so as of now, it looks like he has a good shot at taking the mound for his next scheduled outing next week in a great matchup against the last-place New York Mets. RotoBaller has been encouraging fantasy managers to snag Henderson off the waiver wire for weeks now, and there's no better time to do so as he heads into a matchup against the Mets. UPDATE: Henderson has been listed as the team's probable starter for Wednesday against the Mets in Milwaukee, per FOX Sports' Hunter Baumgardt.

Brandon Woodruff's "Outlook Isn't Good"
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the plan is for right-handed veteran Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) to address the media on Sunday regarding his right-shoulder injury, but the skipper said "the outlook isn't good," according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I'm going to let Woody get specific with you and let him be the one to announce what he wants to announce," Murphy said. The 33-year-old veteran has made only nine starts this year due to recurring shoulder problems, and he landed on the injured list in early July with an injury to his right anterior shoulder capsule. It's looking more and more likely that Woodruff could be heading toward another season-ending shoulder surgery, so fantasy managers who have been stashing him might need to be ready to cut him entirely in single-year formats. Despite shoulder issues and a drastic dip in velocity before being shut down again recently, Woodruff had pitched well with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts in 45 1/3 frames across nine starts. Even if surgery isn't needed, the earliest Woodruff can return from the 60-day IL is in September.

Kyle Harrison Planning to Throw a Bullpen on Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison (elbow) had an MRI exam over the All-Star break "because it gives me the confidence to just hit it in the second half, full speed ahead," according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Harrison will get a reading from the doctor shortly and is planning to throw his first bullpen session on Saturday afternoon. It sounds like Harrison should be cleared of any structural damage in his left elbow after he was put on the 15-day injured list last weekend due to left-elbow tightness. The 24-year-old southpaw doesn't have a firm timetable to rejoin Milwaukee's starting rotation at this time, but barring a setback as he begins to ramp back up, he could be back in early August. Harrison is rostered in 83% of Yahoo leagues while he rehabs after a strong first half in his first year with the Brew Crew, going 8-2 with a 3.01 ERA (3.10 FIP) and 1.08 WHIP with 101 strikeouts and only 20 walks in 83 2/3 innings across his 17 starts. Given the state of the Brewers' banged-up starting rotation, Harrison will be inserted back into a starting role when he's cleared to return.

Logan Henderson a Must-Add Pitcher Off the Waiver Wire
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson missed some time due to a back injury in the first half of the season, but he returned last Thursday with a promising outing against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, allowing three runs with one walk and four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings to improve to 3-1 on the year. The 24-year-old finished the first half with a strong 3.18 ERA (2.46 FIP) and 0.99 WHIP with 34 strikeouts and only seven walks in 28 1/3 innings across his six starts. So far in his 11 big-league starts since debuting with Milwaukee in 2025, Henderson is 6-1 with a 2.52 ERA (2.72 FIP), 0.99 WHIP, and 67:15 K:BB in 53 2/3 innings. It's not a large sample size, but you can't complain about the results, and he should have a strong hold on a rotation spot for the Brew Crew for the rest of the season. The former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of McLennan Community College is one of the best starting pitching options off the waiver wire entering his first start of the second half on Friday versus the Miami Marlins, and he's rostered in under 60% of Yahoo leagues at the moment.
