Brewers Bolster Bullpen Ahead of Crunch

Milwaukee’s six-and-a-half game NL Central lead feels sweet — but don’t relax: they’re about to face 18 games in 17 days, mostly against playoff contenders. The good news? Reliever Jared Koenig, sidelined since April with elbow trouble, is expected back before Friday’s Cubs game. The 32-year-old, who’s been a reliable arm since joining the Brewers in 2024, hasn’t allowed a run this year — and his return eases pressure on the bullpen. To make room, they optioned Craig Yoho, who’s struggled this season. With the Brewers’ pen already seventh-best in MLB, this move could be crucial as they chase the postseason.
