The Brewers will be recalling a pitcher from the minors to start Friday's game in Seattle and Hader appears to be the top candidate to get the call.
Hader can start Friday's game for the Brewers on normal rest and none of the Brewers' minor league starters who are on the 40-man roster line up to make the start, other than Jorge Lopez, who carries a 5.85 ERA at Double-A. Hader is the only candidate for Friday's start worth adding in most formats, as he has high-end bat-missing stuff. Realistically, he wouldn't log more than five or six innings in his big league debut, but he could qualify for the win while notching more than a strikeout per inning. Hader dominated Double-A earlier this season and has a 4.32 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 35 strikeouts in 25 innings on the road since being promoted to Triple-A -- his home numbers at Colorado Springs are relatively worthless, given the pitching conditions.
