Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Expected to have start pushed
Rotowire
The Brewers are expected to push Harrison's (knee/wrist) next turn through the rotation this weekend in Miami back a few days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Harrison injured both his knee and left wrist during his last outing against the Nationals on Saturday. He's not expected to go on the injured list after additional imaging came back negative, but the Brewers look like they will give the 24-year-old southpaw additional time to recover. Robert Gasser is a candidate to be called up from Triple-A Nashville for a spot start this weekend. Harrison could be back in the Brewers' rotation next week on the road against the Tigers.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Avoids significant injury
Rotowire
Harrison (knee/wrist) underwent an MRI that came back clean Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Harrison was dealing with some knee discomfort after tossing 4.1 innings and surrendering two runs on four hits and a walk while punching out four batters in his outing Saturday against Washington. The southpaw took a throw off his knee from teammate Gary Sanchez while trying to cover first base in the first inning, ultimately causing him to take a fall. The team had him undergo additional imaging, and he appears to have avoided any significant damage, though Harrison is still dealing with some soreness in his wrist from the wipeout. The 24-year-old's status will be worth keeping an eye on ahead of his scheduled next start Thursday against Toronto.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Dealing with knee issue
Rotowire
Harrison is getting an examination on his knee following his start Saturday versus Washington, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The left-hander took the loss to drop to 1-1, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 4.1 frames.
Harrison didn't have a great outing Saturday, and he was hit on the knee by a throw from first baseman Gary Sanchez while covering first base on a grounder in the first frame. Harrison obviously remained in the contest and later had an X-ray, per McCalvy. Nonetheless, manager Pat Murphy said after the game that both Harrison and Brandon Sproat, who also pitched Saturday, are getting postgame knee exams. Results of the testing should provide more insight about whether either hurler is in danger of missing any time.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Secures first victory
Rotowire
Harrison (1-0) earned the win Sunday versus the Royals, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
Maikel Garcia's two-run homer during the third inning was all the damage Kansas City could muster against Harrison, who threw 55 of 90 pitches for strikes while generating 25 called-or-swinging strikes. The left-hander has yet to make it through six frames in his first two outings of the season, but it's otherwise been a strong start to the campaign with three runs allowed and a 14:3 K:BB in 10.1 innings.
Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Strikes out eight in 2026 debut
Rotowire
Harrison allowed one run on four hits and one walk across five innings in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rays. He struck out eight.
Harrison's lone blemish was a leadoff home run surrendered to Yandy Diaz in the top of the first inning. Acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason, Harrison's debut was an encouraging one after he spent much of 2025 at the Triple-A level with the Giants and Red Sox. Harrison has the stuff to be a factor in mixed fantasy leagues, and his next start is scheduled for Sunday in Kansas City.
Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Making Brewers debut March 30
Rotowire
Harrison (finger) is slated to make his Brewers debut March 30 against the Rays, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Harrison had to depart his last Cactus League outing due to a blister on his left index finger, but it will not keep him from making a start during the Brewers' first turn through their rotation. Acquired from the Red Sox this offseason in the Caleb Durbin trade, Harrison permitted 12 runs (eight earned) in 9.2 innings this spring but had an encouraging 15:3 K:BB.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Poised to avoid IL
Rotowire
Harrison (finger) completed a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to be included on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Harrison exited his final Cactus League start Wednesday after developing a blister on his left index finger, but his ability to throw off a mound just a few days later puts him on track to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the season. Milwaukee hasn't yet indicated if Harrison will pitch in either of the team's final two exhibition games Monday and Tuesday versus the Reds, but assuming the finger didn't present any issues for him during his recent bullpen session, the southpaw should be ready to make his first turn through the Milwaukee rotation once the regular season gets underway. The Brewers are still deciding where to slot Harrison in the pitching order based on the status of Brandon Woodruff (lat), who has been built up slowly during the spring but is also trending toward being included in the season-opening rotation.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Leaves game with blister
Rotowire
Harrison was removed during the third inning of Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Angels due to a blister on his left index finger, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Harrison tossed 59 pitches across 2.2 frames and allowed four runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out three before being removed from Wednesday's contest. Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters that the blister is something Harrison has been dealing with, so the issue doesn't appear to be one that would put the 24-year-old southpaw in jeopardy of missing Opening Day, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Harrison allowed one earned run over 3.0 innings in Sunday's spring game against the Mariners. He gave up two hits, struck out eight batters and walked two.
Harrison shined while tossing three frames in an exhibition matchup against the British national team last week, and he did the same Sunday in his first official appearance of the spring. Over the two outings Harrison allowed just one earned run and posted a 10:3 K:BB, so he is making a strong case to break camp with a spot in the big-league rotation.
Harrison tossed 3.0 scoreless innings in Tuesday's exhibition game against the British national team. He gave up two hits, struck out two and walked one.
Harrison was acquired from the Red Sox less than a month ago, and he got into his first game with the Brewers on Tuesday. The results were exceptional, thanks in part to the addition of a changeup to his arsenal, as noted by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Harrison has had mixed results at the big-league level, but he is a former top prospect who has tossed 194.2 innings in the majors and owns a career K/9 of 8.8. It's unclear exactly how Milwaukee's rotation will shake out, but Harrison -- just 24 years old -- is firmly in the mix for a spot.
