  • Adrian Houser Returns for the Brewers


    TL Schwerz

    Prior to Wednesday’s game the Milwaukee Brewers made a handful of pitching moves. Jake Cousins was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Trevor Kelley joined him there, and J.C. Mejia cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A. Taking a spot on the active roster, Adrian Houser was activated from the injured list.

    Most notably here is the return of starting pitcher Adrian Houser. Houser has made 15 starts for Milwaukee this season and owns a 5.15 ERA. His 4.23 FIP paints a much prettier picture however, and he’s been a mainstay on the active roster for years. Houser returns to a 7.0 K/9 this season. His trouble has been more regarding base hits (10.0 H/9) rather than giving up too many longballs (0.9 HR/9).

    Jake Cousins has thrown just eight innings in the majors this year, and last pitched for Milwaukee on April 30. He’ll look to make his way back into the big-league bullpen as soon as he’s completely ready to go.

    Trevor Kelley has thrown 21 innings for the Brewers and owns a 6.00 ERA. He’s still looking for a way to translate the 2.00 ERA across 27 Triple-A innings to the majors. Kelley has struck out 12.0 per nine with Nashville, but has allowed a whopping seven homers in his time at the Major League level.

    J.C. Mejia was recently designated for assignment but stays in the organization accepting an outright to Nashville.
