The Milwaukee Brewers have placed left-handed pitcher Jared Koenig on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow sprain, recalling fellow lefty Shane Drohan from Triple-A Nashville to replace him on the 26-man roster.
Koenig, 32, is in his third season in Milwaukee as he’s developed into a valuable back-of-the-bullpen piece during his Brewer tenure. Over his three seasons, he has a 2.62 ERA and a 3.30 FIP with 135 strikeouts over 130 1/3 innings. He’s
made three appearances so far this season, pitching 2 1/3 innings with two unearned runs allowed and four strikeouts.
Koenig’s injury is just the latest in a line of early-season injuries, including outfielder Jackson Chourio, first baseman Andrew Vaughn, and pitchers Quinn Priester, Craig Yoho, and Rob Zastryzny.
