Overview

  • The injured list move is retroactive to August 25, and the team has not disclosed a precise recovery timeline.
  • Erick Fedde joins the active roster after his release by Atlanta, with Logan Henderson shifted to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot.
  • Megill has converted 30 saves this season with a 2.54 ERA over 46 innings, reinforcing the significance of his absence.
  • ESPN's Jeff Passan noted flexor strains can linger and may jeopardize postseason availability, while Megill said this strain feels milder than past ones.
  • Milwaukee cites bullpen depth with options such as Abner Uribe for late-inning work, and the club holds a 6.5-game division lead over the Cubs.
